  6. What is SWIS? A web-based decision system used to improve behavior support in schools by providing school personnel with accurate, timely, and practical information for making decisions about school environments based on data. Big Idea It’s more than just record keeping, it’s about decision making.

  7. Big Ideas Make better decisions based on data • Respond consistently to problem behavior • Regularly monitor patterns of problem behavior across the school • Identify contexts (e.g., locations, grade levels, schedules) where more support is needed • Understand why problem behaviors continue (i.e., perceived motivation or function of the behavior) • Reduce referral disproportionality by race, ethnicity, disability, gender, and other characteristics • Repeatedly giving people the right information, at the right time, in the right format is the single most effective way to improve decision making and valued outcomes.
