26 Objectives Understanding of… NC PBS Data Collection Manual.
NC PBS Recognition Program. Strategies for using data for effective action planning.

27 NC Data Collection Manual Section I
History and Purpose

28 Manual History Historically, we have had inconsistent data collection due to: Different size LEAs Different data collection sources Various levels of data system knowledge Lead to challenges for schools to assess data and effectiveness of PBS implementation. State was challenged to make state-wide conclusions about PBS Outcomes.

29 Manual Purpose Not intended to add work, but to organize the work you are already doing. Toolbox: Describes different types of data you may want to collect and the rationale for how it will help you. Road Map: Provides guidelines for completing a thorough assessment for PBS Implementation. State-Wide Goal: Increase consistency of data- collection across the state and guiding support from DPI and PBS Coordinators.

30 Using Data at the School Level
Create Action plan and Steps Implement Make needed revisions Collect data to determine need assess plan Here are the steps. Get input at all levels… Research best practices Create action plan Implement plan Assess the plan Revise the plan Repeat as needed… 30

31 Using Data at the State Level
Collect data from all regions Analyze and summarize patterns Create action steps/plan Implement Plan Determine needed supports Here are the steps. Get input at all levels… Research best practices Create action plan Implement plan Assess the plan Revise the plan Repeat as needed… 31

36 NC Data Collection Manual Section II
Implementation Data

37 Implementation Data Rationale How will collecting this data impact:
To ensure that the implementation of PBS at any given school is being done with reliability and accuracy. How will collecting this data impact: School administrators Provides clear information about the fidelity of implementation of PBS and guides decision making regarding use of time and resources PBS teams Provides specific information regarding areas for improvement in order to create meaningful action plans Teachers helps the PBS team move as quickly and efficiently as possible towards creating a sustainable model, improving school climate and overall student outcomes Students, parents, communities Highly accurate implementation will quickly transition schools towards a more positive climate.

38 Implementation Data vs. Outcome Data
Designed to measure fidelity of implementation Goal is to develop action steps Outcome Data Measures progress on specific school-wide goals Allows schools to determine impact of PBS implementation Documents the effectiveness of PBS on overall school climate Used by LEAs to make system-wide decisions 38

39 Implementation Data Schedule

40 Implementation Data Tools
Implementation Checklist/ Inventory School Survey (EBS Survey/ Self-Assessment) Trainer Report SET Future Training List See Data Manual pages

41 NC Data Collection Manual Section III
System Level Outcome Data

42 System Level Outcome Data
Rationale To determine how prevention and intervention strategies are impacting the school environment How will collecting this data impact: School Administrators By evaluating system level outcome data, you can make sure that your school resources are being used most efficiently PBS Teams To know what kind of prevention and intervention strategies are needed based on your specific school population Teachers Help the PBS Team make accurate decisions about practices to use in the school and classroom based on your specific student population Students, parents, and communities Data will help choose or modify strategies to ensure best academic and behavioral outcomes

43 Outcome Data Schedule

44 System Level Outcome Data Tools
Achievement Data Suspension/ Expulsion Data Referral Data How to collect using SWIS vs. NC Wise (or other system). Climate Surveys Special Education Referrals/ Eligibility Data Staff Retention Data Attendance Data See Data Manual pages

45 NC Data Collection Manual Section IV
Small Group and Individual Level Outcome Data

46 Small Group and Individual Level Outcome Data
Rationale Allows better identification of which students are in need of the most support Need to be able to better assess how interventions are working at the individual and small group level prior to problem behavior PBS traditionally only collects data after problem behavior has occurred preventing ability to know what interventions will work at the classroom level

47 Small Group and Individual Level Outcome Data
How will collecting this data impact: School Administrators Document the educational and behavioral progress of at-risk students identify which interventions are most effective in working with at-risk students PBS Teams determine the effectiveness of functional based behavioral supports and address problem areas through a team-based approach. Teachers Provides clear way to focus time and energy on interventions that are shown to be effective Gives clear way to communicate progress to other staff and parents Students, parents, and communities Improves quality of interventions for children Gives common way for teachers and parents to communicate about progress

48 PBS and RTI RTI and PBS need to work together
PBS good at universals implementation Whole school/class-wide assessment, intervention and implementation RTI good at small group and targeted interventions Individual child and small group assessment intervention and implementation RTI historically better at assessment and use of data PBS historically better at implementing and getting schools to do something different We need to learn from each other and adopt both methods

49 Small Group and Individual Level Outcome Data Tools
Direct Behavior Ratings (DBR) Other Options Permanent products Systematic direct observation See Data Manual pages 33-35

50 NC Data Collection Manual Section V
System Wide Implementation

51 Documenting System Wide Implementation
Rationale For large school systems (LEAs) implementing system wide, it may be helpful to write a single report summarizing progress This allows LEA administrators to assess overall impact of PBS implementation in order to better provide support and resources A system wide report should not replace collecting and assessing data on an individual school basis, but can be an additional tool in creating sustainability of PBS

52 Documenting System Wide Implementation
Possible Components of a System Wide Report Executive summary Overview of number of schools implementing (elementary, middle and high) Combined SET Scores for each of the seven areas by elementary middle and high Combined referral information by elementary, middle and high) Average Per Day and Quarter By Location By Problem Behavior Combined suspension/expulsion data Triangle data and analysis by elementary, middle and high Achievement data (PBS schools compared to non PBS schools) Staff impact data (e.g., retention morale, etc.)

53 Common Challenges

54 Challenges and Solutions
Time consuming Incompatible data collection systems Fear Data does not feel meaningful Beliefs that it is just restating the obvious Resistance to technology and numbers

55 Challenges and Solutions
Reframe thinking about TIME: Effective use of data will save time in the long run PBS Team and administrators need to work together to streamline data collection methods Build trust among staff members and administrators through frequent sharing of data=Data is information NOT judgment Make sure all data collection is CLEARLY connected to tangible action steps Show staff how objective information (data) increases staff investment and makes implementation more meaningful Demystify the word “data”

56 Using Data Effectively
Action Planning Using Data Effectively

57 Effective Action Plans
Effective action plans are… used regularly. frequently reviewed and updated. accessible to all staff. made up of specific doable action steps with clear timelines. generated using data from staff and team.

58 Using Self Assessment Survey Data to Generate Action Steps
Once survey is closed (on pbssurveys.org) you will be able to access reports using the same login number There are three separate reports You can see overall trends as well as specific numbers for each item Once you identify items and areas needing improvement the team should prioritize action steps Some items can be addressed through information only Others will need revisions or completion of tasks.

59 Sample Action Item One school’s survey data showed that many staff indicated both high priority for improvement and not in place for the item that read “ Data on problem behaviors are collected and summarized within an ongoing system” Since the school was using SWIS the team decided the issue was more awareness. The created the following action item. Goal Steps Who Resources Required By When Evaluation Measure Increase staff awareness of SWIS data 1. Present SWIS big 5 graphs at next staff meeting Debbie Data Copies of big 5 Discussion Questions March 24 Staff will increase requests for big 5 for grade level meetings

60 Using Implementation Inventory to Generate Action Steps
The team completes the Implementation Inventory After calculating percentages of implementation, focus on the areas scoring below 80% Within each section look at the items marked 1 or 0 and create a prioritized list Cross reference the team list with the results from the staff survey Create action steps starting with the highest priority

61 Sample Action Item Goal Steps Who Resources Required By When
After completing the implementation inventory the team found that they scored a 61% in universal practices. Upon further review they found all the items marked 1 or 0 had to do with specific teaching of school wide expectations. The also noticed from the staff survey a focus on the need to improve non classroom setting routines. The team developed the following action item Goal Steps Who Resources Required By When Evaluation Measure Increase consistent use of expected behaviors in the cafeteria Create lesson plans for cafeteria expectations Create a schedule for all teachers to teach expectations in the cafeteria Lori Lessonplan and cafeteria TA Time to meet with Cafeteria TAs Sample lesson plans from other schools Lesson plan template from PBS website March 24th First week after spring break All staff will complete a feedback form after completion of the lesson Reduction of referrals from cafeteria during spring semester

62 Using SWIS Data to Generate Action Steps
Regularly review SWIS big 5 graphs For each graph create a list of questions the data generates Create custom graphs to answer questions Bring data back to the team and/or staff for discussion of patterns List possible action items Prioritize the list and develop action steps for highest priority

63 Sample Action Item Goal Steps Who Resources Required By When
After reviewing the SWIS big five one team discovered that the majority of problem behaviors were occurring in the classroom. They created a custom graph to determine what specific behaviors were occurring in the classroom. They found that non- compliance/disrespect was the biggest issue. The team generated the following action item Goal Steps Who Resources Required By When Evaluation Measure Increase compliance with requests in classrooms Have counselor create a social skills on specific skills Compliance Accepting no Asking for help Have all teachers schedule lesson with counselor Carmine Counselor Lesson plan template Social skill curriculum First week after spring break Decrease in classroom referrals for non-compliance / disrespect

64 Activity: Action Planning
Using the SAMPLE School Data provided (Implementation Inventory results, SWIS Big 5, and PBS Self Assessment Survey), create at least one action item. Use the blank action plan provided.

65 Data Collection Next Steps
Review the Data Collection Manual with your LEA administrators and school teams Contact your PBS Regional Coordinators for any questions or concerns dinator/ Look for upcoming trainings on Data Collection PBS Summer Institute Regional Trainings

66 School-Based Behavioral Assessment: Informing Intervention and Instruction
S. Chafouleas, T. Chris Riley-Tillman, G. Sugai Direct Behavior Rating (DBR) presentation by: C. Riley-Tillman Presented by: C. McCamish 66

67 Section IV: Small Group and Individual Level Outcome Data

68 Small Group and Individual Level Outcome Data:
Assess effectiveness of interventions Document educational and behavioral progress Determine effectiveness of functional based behavioral supports Communication tool

69 Direct Behavior Rating (DBR) Background
Effective behavioral assessment and intervention procedures in applied settings require the use of empirically-supported yet feasible techniques To date, feasible assessment of behavior skills has been focused on ODR data – which may not be sensitive to capture all behaviors of interest To date, support for feasible, formative assessment of academic skills is available (e.g., CBM) – but attention has not been directed toward social behaviors 69

70 Defining Characteristics of the DBR
The DBR involves a brief rating of target behavior over a specified period of time a behavior(s) is specified rating of the behavior(s) typically occurs at least daily obtained information is shared across individuals (e.g., parents, teachers, students) the card is used to monitor the effects of an intervention and/or as a component of an intervention (Chafouleas, Riley-Tillman & McDougal, 2002) 70

71 Direct Behavior Ratings
Refer to a hybrid of assessment tools that combine characteristics of systematic direct observation and behavior rating scales. SDO- method of behavioral assessment that requires a trained observer to identify and operationally define a behavior of interest, use a system of observation in a specific time and place, and then score and summarize the data in a consistent manner (Salvia & Ysseldyke, 2004; Riley-Tillman, Kalaber, Chafouleas, 2006) These tools are designed to be used in a formative (repeated) fashion to represent behavior that occurs over a specified period of time (e.g., 4 weeks) and under specific and similar conditions (e.g., 45 min. morning seat work). Using these tools requires rating target behavior on a scale (e.g., rating the degree to which Johnny was actively engaged. ) So, teachers might be asked to rate on a scale from 1 (not at all) to 5 (almost always) the degree to which Johnny was actively engaged in work activities during independent seat work this morning. 71

72 Other Names for the DBR Home-School Note Behavior Report Card
Daily Progress Report Good Behavior Note Check-In Check-Out Card Performance-based behavioral recording 72

73 Example Standard DBR 73

74 Who already uses the DBR?
60% of teachers surveyed already use DBRs to change student behavior 32% to monitor or observe student behavior 81% to identify positive behaviors, 77% to identify negative behaviors 86% use with individual students, 19% with whole class, 9% with small groups 32% use DBRs “routinely” as part of classroom management plan (Chafouleas, Riley-Tillman, & Sassu, 2006) 74

75 Many Potential Uses for the DBR
Increase communication (teacher-student, home-school) As a component of an intervention package, particularly in self-management Provide “quick” assessment of behaviors, especially those not easily captured by other means Monitor student behavior over time Flexible K-12, + or – 1 student or larger group range of behaviors 75

76 Many Potential Uses for the DBR
76

77 A systematic DBR possesses the following 4 characteristics:
1. The behavior of interest must be operationally defined. 2. The observations should be conducted under standardized procedures. 3. The DBR should be used in a specific time, place, and at a predetermined frequency. 4. The data must be scored and summarized in a consistent manner. 77

78 Guiding Questions 1. Why do you need the data?
2. Which tools are best match to assess the behavior of interest? 3. What decisions will be made using the data? 4. What resources are available to collect the data? 78

79 Design Flexibility What is the target behavior and goal?
Focus on a specific behavior (e.g., calling out) or a cluster term for behaviors (e.g., disruption) Goal to increase or decrease behavior Who is the focus of the rating? Individual, small-group or class-wide What is the period for rating? Specific school period, daily, or other What is the setting of observation? Classroom or other location How often will data be collected? Multiple times a day, daily, weekly What scale for rating will be used? Checklist, scale, continuous line Who will conduct the rating? Classroom teacher, aide, or other educational professional Will ratings be tied to consequences? Consequences must be consistently delivered by person responsible 79

80 Considerations When Using a DBR
Ensure that use is “systematic” Identify and operationally define a behavior of interest Use a system of observation in a specific time and place Score and summarize the data in a consistent manner (Similar to the criteria that define systematic direct observation (Salvia & Ysseldyke, 2004) Provide checks on integrity and acceptability Understand correspondence with other data sources 80

81 How are Direct Behavior Ratings data summarized?
Data can be quantified, compared, combined, and summarized for summative and formative purposes. For example, DBR data of Susie’s disruptive behavior over the week can be summarized into a statement of average daily or weekly rating (6 out of 9 points) or most likely period of high or low disruption if multiple ratings per day are taken (just before lunch). Since DBR involve rating on some scale, data are summarized relevant to the scale. For example, a simple yes/no checklist can be easily depicted through a bar chart whereas rating information might be plotted on a line graph, with the intervals on the y-axis indicating the DBR scale. 81

82 Summary of Strengths and Weaknesses of Use in Assessment
Highly Flexible Highly Feasible, Acceptable, and Familiar Minimal Cost Given Potential Amount and Uses for Data Reduced Risk of Reactivity (atypical behavior) Can be used in assessment, intervention, and communication Weaknesses Rater Influence (history) Limited Response Format Limited Knowledge about Psychometric Adequacy 82

83 Case Example Mr. Cohen is the sole school psychologist in Sunnyvale, a small, rural district. One of the teachers in the elementary school, Ms. Yoon, recently implemented a token economy in her classroom in an effort to increase pro-social behaviors among a small group of her students during cooperative learning activities. Although Ms. Yoon thinks that the intervention has been successful (she told Mr. Cohen that “the classroom environment feels more positive”), she would like to know for sure and asks Mr. Cohen to help her collect data to support this belief. Mr. Cohen is pleased that Ms. Yoon has sought him out and certainly wants to help, but his schedule is barely manageable over the next few weeks given other commitments. Thus, Ms. Yoon and Mr. Cohen agree to have Ms. Yoon collect data using a DBR, with Mr. Cohen coming in periodically (i.e., once per week) to supplement the DBR data with systematic direct observations. 83

84 Points to Consider Measures perception of behavior
“3 to 7” not “he is a 7” Academic-absolutes Social- No absolutes Rater Effect- vary on initial rating Overestimate consistently Consistent responses to changes in behavior
