  2. Today’s Goals • Strengthen effective “meeting foundations” • Build roles: facilitator, minute taker and data analyst • Electronic meeting minutes • Practice the TIPS problem solving model • Define “problems” with precision • Define goal for resolving the problem • Build practical solutions to meet defined goal(s) • Define action plans to implement solutions & measure implementation integrity • Build action plan for evaluating the impact of implementation • Use data to make revision decisions • Leave today ready to implement TIPS at your next meeting • Have meeting minutes to begin next meeting • A plan for coaching support • Electronic files of TIPS documents TIPS II Training Manual (2013) www.uoecs.org

  3. TIPS Training Activities • Presentation of content • Large Group Application of content with simulated data • Team Application of content with your school’s SWIS data • Fist of 5 Check Ins • Using a fist of 5 (fist = low/no; 5= high/absolutely), Rate your …. • Level of understanding of the format for the day • Purposes of Fist of 5 Check Ins • For us today: • Check level of understanding as we progress through the content • For you with your teams/students • Use those data for adjusting instructional time • Use those data for facilitating discussions regarding fidelity of implementation TIPS II Training Manual (2013) www.uoecs.org

  4. General Background Knowledge • Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) basics • Define, Prevent, Teach, Acknowledge, Correct, Extinguish, Safety • Function-based support • The School Wide Information System • What SWIS is • What SWIS does • Respectful interactions with team members • Fist of 5 Check In • Does at least one team member have a rating of a 4 or 5? • Knowledge of • PBIS Basics • Function-based Support • SWIS TIPS II Training Manual (2013) www.uoecs.org

  17. Meeting Foundations Structure of meetings lays foundation for efficiency & effectiveness

  18. Meeting Foundations The Structure of meetings lays foundation for efficiency & effectiveness Objectives: Have identified Primary and Backup people for roles Have team meetings scheduled for the year Have an established meeting minute form ready to use

  19. Meeting Foundations Elements • Purpose of the team/ purpose of the meeting is clear & functional • Team agreements about meeting processes are defined • Roles & responsibilities are defined • Team member communication is efficient • Accessibility to email, phone, meeting minutes • Annual calendar of meeting dates, times, location is determined • Electronic meeting minutes are used TIPS II Training Manual (2013) www.uoecs.org

  20. Four Keys to Effective Meetings • Organization • Team roles, predictable meeting process, meeting minute format • Separate agenda items into three types • Review status of previous problems • Administrative logistics • Problem Solving to determine if there are new problems • Data • Access to the right information at right time in right format • Skills • Problems defined with precision including a goal • Comprehensive solution plans that “fit” • Evaluation measures defined & monitored • For each data source, define • Implementation fidelity plan for each problem • Impact of solutions for each problem • For both fidelity and impact define • the data that will be gathered • how/when those data are gathered & reported • Adapt Solutions in response to data TIPS II Training Manual (2013) www.uoecs.org
