1. Sustained Implementation of School-wide PBIS for All Students George Sugai OSEP Center on PBIS Center for Behavioral Education & Research University of Connecticut Aug 4, 2010 www.pbis.org www.pbisillinois.org www.scalingup.org www.swis.org

2. PURPOSE Provide suggestions for maximizing accurate AND sustained implementation of SWPBS continuum for all students Problem Statement 6 Questions to Consider

3. Problem Statement “We give schools strategies & systems for improving practice & outcomes, but implementation is not accurate, consistent, or durable, & desired outcomes aren’t realized. School personnel & teams need more than exposure, practice, & enthusiasm.”

4. “Making a turn” IMPLEMENTATION EffectiveNot Effective PRACTICE Effective Not Effective Maximum Student Benefits Fixsen & Blase, 2009

5. SWPBS Implementation “Infidelity”

6. Sustainability = Organizational capacity for & documentation of  Durable results with  Accurate implementation (>90%) of  Evidence-based practice across desired  Context over  Time w/  Local resources &  Systems for continuous regeneration

8. 6 Sustainability Questions (Yes No ?)

9. YES NO ? 1. Do you remember that SWPBS is more than just interventions & practices?

20. YES NO ? 2. Can you describe your organization’s SWPBS implementation approach?

23. Evaluation Criteria

24. YES NO ? 3. Does your implementation approach consider SWPBS stages of implementation?

25. Stages of Implementation  Exploration  Installation  Initial Implementation  Full Implementation  Innovation  Sustainability Implementation occurs in stages: Fixsen, Naoom, Blase, Friedman, & Wallace, 2005 2 – 4 Years

26. Where are you in implementation process? Adapted from Fixsen & Blase, 2005

27. YES NO ? 4. Does your SWPBS implementation approach give high priority to implementation accuracy & student outcomes?

28. “Treatment integrity is extent to which essential intervention components are delivered in comprehensive & consistent manner by interventionist trained to deliver intervention” Sanetti & Kratochwill, in press. Adapted

29. YES NO ? 5. Does your implementation approach have resource utilization plan for scaled SWPBS implementation?

30. Are outcomes measurable?
