  26. Presenting Data • School wide data and PBIS presentations approx every 6 weeks • This seemed overwhelming to many staff initially • Team members more fluent in the data Lingo, takes awhile to generalize over large staff • As a team, we were still struggling w/ data (much of it still felt new to us)

  27. YEAR 3- Summer Institute • Surveys indicated increase in School Wide System being in place, and improved • Identified classroom, and individual systems as in need of improvement

  28. Shift Focus to smaller systems • Had classroom support strats in place, Continuum of behavior support; but how were they being implemented • Had SWIS but what about the fidelity of stats, how to communicate data w/ larger group

  29. STAFF DEVELOPMENT • Presented FBA and BIP for Autistic Spectrum Students • Presented on FBA-not just process but why, what , when • Presented on managing surface behaviors in the classroom
