Tier 2 PBIS: Check-In / Check-out Kevin J. Filter, Ph.D. Minnesota State University, Mankato
IMPORTANT MESSAGE Tier 1 is the FOUNDATION of the PBIS triangle So, don’t invest in Tier 2 until Tier 1 is solid
What is Tier 2 really about? It IS a way to support students at-risk It’s NOT just about INTERVENTIONS It IS the SYSTEM that connects Tier 1 to Tier 3
Dichotomy or Continuum? The difference here is NOT about INTERVENTIONS, it’s about SYSTEMS Decision rules Screening process Interventions Program manager
Tier 2 Criteria from PBIS.org • Continuous availability. • Rapid access (72 hr). • Very low effort by teachers. • Consistent with school-wide expectations. • Implemented by all staff/faculty in a school. • Flexible intervention based on assessment.
Criteria from PBIS.org(cont’d) • Functional assessment. • Adequate resources (admin, team), weekly meeting, plus 10 hours a week. • Student chooses to participate. • Continuous monitoring of student behavior for decision-making.
Are you already doing some of this? • Most schools have some supports available for students at risk • However, they often haven’t been systematically reviewed and connected • So, here’s what we should be considering…
Evaluating Your CURRENT Tier 2 Supports • Criteria from PBIS.org • Evidence for effectiveness • Published evidence • Shared evidence • Local evidence • Re-evaluate ANNUALLY
Let’s Evaluate • Take five minutes to review the programs available in your school for Tier 2 using the form “Evaluating Tier 2 Interventions in School”
SELECTING STUDENTS Office Discipline Referrals: Using existing data • Rule of Thumb = 2 to 5 ODRs • Not an immediate danger to self or others • What are the problem behaviors? • Matching behavior function to intervention
STEP 1 Find students with 2 to 5 ODRs STEP 2 Determine rule-out behaviors Major violence/aggression Investigate function of behaviors ACTIVITY / DEMONSTRATION: SWIS
OK, we’ve found them and they are in the program now – what comes next? Keeping track of our Tier 2 students… Using data…
Records and Decisions • Keep records of who is participating in each program • Name • Progress • Decision • KIDS DON’T STAY IN THE PROGRAM INDEFINITELY!!! • Follow-up AFTER they are removed from program
NEXT STEPS PLANNING FOR SUCCESS PLANNING FOR MORE SUPPORT
PLANNING FOR SUCCESS • Develop criteria for moving between levels • Develop a system to fade the Tier 2 intervention
PLANNING FOR MORE SUPPORT • If Tier 2 intervention and modified Tier 2 intervention do not lead to improvements for children, then the Tier 3 process should be initiated • Tier 3 = FBA that leads to individual behavior support plan
Some Tier 2 interventions are better than others… Check-In / Check-out
Check-in / Check-out • Strong evidence-base • Over a dozen published studies • Works for 67% to 75% of ALL kids • Best for attention function but can be modified • Designed as a Tier 2 intervention • Can be purchased from Guilford Press as book and/or DVD
Student Recommended for BEP Behavior Education Program BEP Implemented BEP Coordinator Summarizes Data for Decision Making Morning Check-In Parent Feedback Regular Teacher Feedback Biweekly Meeting to Assess Student Progress Afternoon Check-Out Revise Program Graduate Program
Critical Features • Morning check-in • Daily Progress Report (point card) • Teacher feedback throughout the day • Afternoon check-out • Home component • Team management and decision-making • Training • Teachers • Students • Parent
Morning Check-In • Students check-in with CICO manager • Signed card from home is returned • New card is delivered • Point goal is reviewed • Ensure student is ready for the day • Materials, homework
BEP Check-In/Check-Out Record Date:__________________ BEP Coordinator:_________________ Check-In Check-Out
Check-In, Check-Out Form: Elementary School Version
Tracking Student BEP Progress(number = % of total daily points)
Daily Progress Report • One form used by all students • Not individualized • Connected to 3-5 positively stated PBIS behavior expectations • Points are assigned for each behavior on a 0-2 scale
HAWK Report Date ________ Student _______________Teacher___________________
Teacher Feedback Throughout the Day • Student is rated on behaviors during naturally-occurring transitions • Feedback is brief • Verbal • Reward success and remind how score can improve if not scored as a 2 • By using same card for all kids, teachers don’t have to “individualize” things
Afternoon Check-Out • Check-out with CICO manager • Review points earned relative to goal • Deliver rewards • Daily? Progress toward larger goals? • CICO manager records points in database
BEP Check-In/Check-Out Record Date:__________________ BEP Coordinator:_________________ Check-In Check-Out
Home Component • Daily Progress Report goes home to parent • Parent verbally rewards success • Avoid using as a punishment • Parent signs card and gives it back to student to return to school next day
Team Management and Decision-Making • Team meets biweekly to review CICO program • CICO Program Manager organizes data for meeting • Discuss students who are not succeeding • Plan for graduation for successful student • Fading
Decision-Making Cont’d: Importance of Baseline Data • Why? • So we know if the intervention helped • How to do it • Collect at least 3 to 5 days of data BEFORE the intervention begins • Teachers score behavior but don’t provide feedback to student
Training • Teachers • Explain program to all teachers • Once they know how to rate behavior they can work with any kid • Students • Once student starts program, schedule a meeting to review program with student • Parents • When a student is being considered for program, talk to parents about what the program is for and how to manage signature and home feedback process
How Is BEP Different Than Other “Behavior Card” Interventions • A Targeted Intervention Implemented Within a School-Wide System of Behavior Support • Behavior Cards typically classroom interventions • Implemented in all settings, throughout the school day • All teachers and staff are trained • Students identified proactively and receive support quickly • Team uses data for decision making to determine progress 2005 by The Guilford Press
CICO Self-Assessment • Review what’s involved with doing a check in/ check out (CICO) program • If you choose to invest in CICO/BEP, then this document will help with action planning
BIG IDEAS • Tier 2 is a SYSTEM that connects Tier 1 to Tier 3 • Not all schools that are interested in Tier 2 supports are ready • Invest in Tier 1! • Select Tier 2 programs based on evidence • Monitor progress of all students in Tier 2
