Implementing Innovation for a Lasting Effect
School-wide PBIS This two-day forum for state, district and regional Leadership Teams has been designed to help increase the effectiveness of School-wide PBIS Implementation. Sessions have been developed for all levels of implementation and have been organized into 8 specialized strands, including: PBIS Foundations Enhanced Implementation Building Training & Coaching Capacity Evaluation & Policy High Schools Tier 2/Tier 3 Supports Integrated Systems Disproportionality, Bully Prevention, and other special topics For more information, visit Sponsored by the OSEP Center on Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports with support from the Illinois PBIS Network.

“Innovation Neutral” process
4/16/2017 “Innovation Neutral” process Any innovation/initiative A neutral process for implementing any innovation with fidelity Professional development Working smarter with limited resources Aligning what you have to organize supports This initiative is a framework for helping you organize EBP, resources, and systems for measuring effectiveness through data. You will move through exploration using an innovation neutral approach that will help you align what you do to support students and staff Whatever reason you are here, we are going to give you an innovation neutral process. We are at exploration phase right now to explore if ESD is a solution to an identified need.

You have knowledge about the Blueprint
State/District will be successful if: They start with sufficient resources and commitment They focus on the smallest changes that will result in the biggest difference They have a clear action plan They use on-going self-assessment to determine if they are achieving their plan They have access to an external agent/coach who is supportive, knowledgeable and persistent.

We will talk about data later today. The big part of this is the systems. Your job as a coach is to work with the team, administrator, and division coordinator to build a system of support for teachers to implement these practices school-wide, in the classroom and non-classroom settings Ask: Which part of this do you find the most challenging within your schools?

Before you add one more thing….
We plan for systems to support top two tiers .Creating foundations to support the maintenance of those behaviors.

Exploration Phase Need for change identified, possible solutions are explored, learning about what it takes to implement the innovation effectively, stakeholders are identified and developed, and decision is made to move forward

Resource Mapping- Inventory of Current Innovation
What are the practices in place at each tier of the triangle? Are they evidence-based practices? How are you measuring effectiveness of practices (data)? Who are the service delivery teams/personnel (e.g., graduation coach, PALS teacher, Math Coach) Conversation starter: This is not to be completed, just to get them started and then they can take back. Materials: Lamenated triangle poster, removable stickers, list of ebp and resources for identifying ebps

GOAL: 100% of students achieve
TIER I: Core, Universal GOAL: 100% of students achieve at high levels Tier I: Implementing well researched programs and practices demonstrated to produce good outcomes for the majority of students. Tier I: Effective if at least 80% are meeting benchmarks with access to Core/Universal Instruction. Tier I: Begins with clear goals: What exactly do we expect all students to learn ? How will we know if and when they’ve learned it? How you we respond when some students don’t learn? How will we respond when some students have already learned? Questions 1 and 2 help us ensure a guaranteed and viable core curriculum ADAPTED FROM PASCO- florida pbs District facilitates discussions among schools on curriculum standards preschool through12th grade.

TIER II: Supplemental, Targeted Tier II For approx. 20% of students Core + Supplemental …to achieve benchmarks Tier II Effective if at least 70-80% of students improve performance (i.e., gap is closing towards benchmark and/or progress monitoring standards). Where are the students performing now? Where do we want them to be? How long do we have to get them there? How much do they have to grow per year/monthly to get there? What resources will move them at that rate? ADAPTED FROM PASCO District facilitates discussions among schools on curriculum standards preschool through12th grade. Systematic process for monitoring, evaluating, reviewing curriculum. 32 32 32

Tier III For Approx 5% of Students Core + Supplemental Intensive Individual Instruction …to achieve benchmarks Where is the students performing now? Where do we want him to be? How long do we have to get him there? What supports has he received? What resources will move him at that rate? Tier III Effective if there is progress (i.e., gap closing) towards benchmark and/or progress monitoring goals. TIER III: Intensive, Individualized ADAPTED FROM PASCO District facilitates discussions among schools on curriculum standards preschool through12th grade.

Activity 1 Step 1: Identify all programs/initiatives/common practices by tier Tier I- How do you support all children? Core Curriculum- “everyone gets” Tier II, III How do you support students who need more support? How do you build on the foundation so that all Tier II, III activities are a natural extension of core curriculum? Step 2: Identify outcome for each practice. How do you measure effectiveness?(Staff performance) How do monitor progress? (student impact) How do you support teachers? (staff support)How are they linked to School Improvement? (integrated approach) Social emotional programs at each tier inventory. Do both steps. Use the workbook for the recording of these activities. VDOE ESD Project 1/30/11

Practices, Initiatives, Programs for a FEW
Triangle Activity: Applying the Three-Tiered Logic to Your School Tier 3 Practices, Initiatives, Programs for a FEW Tier 2 Practices, Initiatives, Programs for SOME Tier 1 See workbook What do you have in place for behavior interventions for all, some, and a few? Think about this on a school-wide level and maybe think about it around one of the top behaviors in your school. Say disrespect or disruption. Think about kids down the road too-who do not respond to universal. Be sure to make the connections to the pyramid for academics and you will always look to both –the connections. Our work will be looking at what we have, what can we tweak, and what are we missing. What are the EBPs? How are you monitoring effectiveness with data? Are there any that are really getting significant outcomes? How will you take your staff through this process? Practices, Initiatives, Programs for ALL

Who are the staff supporting all of these practices?
What “support teams or staff” support these practices? What are their roles and responsibilities? Is there any duplication or overlap? What communication loops and /or progress monitoring exists among all of these support personnel? What’s working and how do we know, got data?

Schools need to be clear about what interventions they have (and don’t have) in place
Service Delivery Personnel Tier 3/Tertiary Interventions % _____________________ Tier 2/Secondary Interventions % ___________________________ Poster paper: Draw this framework on your poster. We are going to go through taking inventory for each part, once piece at a time. Let’s do ESD together all the way through ( SW practice, PBIS Team, ODRs, Attendance) (4: schools need to flush out their own triangle) So…first thing you want to do when you go back to school tomorrow…is to think about “what interventions do we actually have at each tier”. List them out..plug them in where you think they belong based on what you know about the 3 tiers. If you’ve done this before, do it again : ) you want to make sure you’re capturing everything..including any new interventions you may have developed recently. If you haven’t done this…you may find the “crack” that children are falling thru…you may find (as many of our schools have) that the ‘gap’ we need to close is actually the yellow part of this triangle… Most schools do not have enough secondary interventions (both in quantity and type/quality) needed to support their student body. Think about it…can your Secondary system hold 15-20% of the youth in your school? (school of 1,000 is 200 kids, 500 is 100 kids)??

Have to see the connection
Have to see the connection! Are there other ways in which implementing PBIS will support your strategic plan?

Your Turn How could you use Resource Mapping in you school, district, region, state, life?

Prepare for Working Smarter (Not Harder)
Allows schools to identify the multiple committees within their school Helps in identifying purposes, outcomes, target groups, and staff Assists schools in addressing, evaluating, and restructuring committees and initiatives to address school improvement plan Important for schools to identify that school-wide PBIS is integrated into existing committees and initiatives Our next activity is designed to identify committees in your school. Is there overlap or duplication of effort? Are many of the same people serving on different committees? Working smarter not harder; how can we make this happen? During the activity we’ll outline the committees on campus and identify the purpose of those committees Who do they address? Can some of these committees be collapsed, so that we have fewer committees but the same needs are addressed? Are there committees that deserve added support?

Use Worksheet to Organize Your Teams Responsible for ALL Programs/Initiatives
Step 1: Identify Current Teams (discipline, instruction, climate, school improvement, parent support, etc) Step 2: Complete the Working Smarter document Step 3: Based on your results, what committees/teams can you: (a) align and integrate to support everyone’s efforts towards the school strategic plan and mission? Determine your next steps …

How do we measure impact?
Workgroup/ Committee/ Team Outcome/Link to SIP Who do we serve? What is the ticket in? Names of Staff Non-negotiable District Mandate? How do we measure impact? Overlap? Modify? Attendance Committee students Junebug, Leo, Tom yes Attendance records Yes-fold to SW PBS SW PBS Team Students staff Ben, Tom, Lou no Office Referrals Attend, MIR, Nursing log ,climate Yes- continue Safety Committee Toni, Barb, Tom Office Referrals BIG 5, climate Yes-fold into SW PBS School Spirit Committee Tom No Discipline Committee Tom, Lou Student Support Team/Problem Solving Team Steve, Sue,Jon, Discipline, DIBELS, FACTS… No- continue School Improvement 1,2,3 Bill, Jon, Lou, Tom All of the above This will be even more important as we move into advanced tiers. List teams, complete chart- start with just making list- but use this as a guide for reviewing overlap, progress monitoring, overall organization of teaming structure- can we get same impact meeting less, using data to guide use of minutes- collapse groups ? This is a consideration for us to 48

Most Training Guskey (1986, 2000)
Nearly every major work on the topic of staff development has emphasized the failings of these efforts. Majority of staff development fail to consider two factors: "What motivates teachers to engage in staff development, and the process by which change in teachers typically takes place" (p. 6). Considerations: Change is a slow, difficult, gradual process; Teachers need to receive regular feedback on student learning outcomes; and Continued support and follow-up are necessary after initial training.

Obtain 80% Staff Consensus 80% Staff Commitment
A “YES” vote means that I agree to: provide input in determining what our school’s problems are and what our goals should be make decisions about rules, expectations, and procedures in the commons areas of the school as a school community Follow through with all school-wide decisions, regardless of my feelings for any particular decision Commit to positive behavior support systems for a full year - allowing performance toward our goal to determine future plans Administrators will need to secure or work towards 80% staff commitment to move this forward- admin are responsible for providing brief overview to entire staff and asking for buy in without sabotage- the admin should use this slide to define staff agreement- overview slides will be made available on the pbismaryland website-

Staff Survey www.pbssurveys School account numbers will be emailed
your Local Point of Contact for more information It will also be important for staff to complete a survey – the survey is available on line at Your local person can provide your school account number- and provide instructions- you will be able to access your school report on this site . Your team will need to bring this data report to the summer training – The team will use the information to guide action planning- As you know, staff will need to be involved in the process of change in order to feel ownership - it is necessary to get a perspective from everyone

SWIS Optional Review readiness checklist
Referral form requirement-see example Demo at SWIS is optional but we highly recommend reviewing the demo site so you can make an informed decision – SWIS is a tool that allows school to get information about behavioral issues- it makes it easy for staff to enter referral data and generate the kind of reports that schools need to make decisions You will also find other resources on the website that will help complete the readiness checklist-

Your Turn How would you use training materials in your school, district, region, state?

Compensating for the “Unknown”
Readiness factors might impact fidelity Lack of understanding by participants might impact fidelity Technology malfunctions might impact fidelity

Guiding Questions Outcome: How is the practice linked to overall outcome outlined in your school improvement plan? Systems/Process: Teaming Structure – What are your current Service Delivery Teams (i.e. Leadership Team, Student Services Team, Problem Solving Team) What are roles and responsibilities of each team? RFA process How do teachers and support staff access these supports? Request for Assistance? How long does it take to get supports in place Communication: How do your academic and behavior teams communicate with each other ? Coaching and Staff Support: What are the structures that support skill development for staff? Structures that support follow along activities? What are the structures that support fidelity, on going teacher support and performance feedback? (Coaching) Data: Decision Rules about how students get access? What tools to measure fidelity and progress monitoring tools used to measure effectiveness-How do you know the practice makes the impact?

How do we measure impact?
Working Smarter- Systems / Staff Support Workgroup/ Committee/ Team Outcome/ Link to SIP Who do we serve? What is the ticket in? Names of Staff Tier? Non-negotiable District Mandate?

Decision Rules for Access to Advanced Tiers (and decision rules for prevention-if we can predict the trajectories , then we can prevent it from happening) Youth has 2 Major ODRs Youth has 1 Suspension Youth experiences more than ? minutes out of instruction Youth misses more than ? days unexcused absences Youth drops GPA by more than ?? Youth – benchmark testing- McIntosh Youth- incomplete class work/homework Attendance (look at predictors for drop-out and school completion) Admin Referral Teacher/Staff Referral Family Referral Other: Flags for discussion Data Dashboard Multiple places to get access data we've used in a couple of districts. As far as academics go, they're not 100% predictors (i.e., not all students with academic deficits end up with behavior challenges), but people have been using them as flags for discussion. So if a student is flagged as "at risk" (aka deficit, tier III, red zone), their name gets raised as a possible student requiring behavior support as well. Because some students have academic problems but won't ever need behavior support, it's ok for a team/teacher to veto the need for behavior support.

Coaching Defined Coaching is the active and iterative delivery of:
(a) prompts that increase successful behavior, and (b) corrections that decrease unsuccessful behavior Coaching is done: by someone with credibility and experience with the target skill(s) on-site, in real time after initial training repeatedly (e.g. monthly) by adjusting the intensity according to need Horner (2009) George & Barrett (2011)

Coach Competencies

Outcomes of Coaching Fluency with trained skills
Adaptation of trained concepts/skills to local contexts and challenges And new challenges that arise Rapid redirection from miss-applications Increased fidelity of overall implementation Improved sustainability Most often due to ability to increase coaching intensity at critical points in time Horner 2009 George & Barrett (2011)

Practice Profiles Each critical component is a heading
Each level of implementation becomes a dimension on the rubric associated with that critical component. Critical Component (non-negotiable) Define how does this Critical Component contribute to the Outcome? Ideal “Gold Standard” of the Critical Component Acceptable Variation of the Critical Component Unacceptable Variation of the Critical Component Adapted from work of the Heartland Area Education Agency 11, Iowa Tilly, September 2008

Your Turn How would you use the Practice Profile?

Phases of Coaching (adapted from Situational Leadership Blanchard and Hersey)
Coach needs to adjust to situation (teams skill set, knowledge and commitment to change) C1- Teaching/Transfer of new skill set: Define the roles and tasks (BOQ, BAT) of the ‘follower’ or team and supervise them closely. Decisions are made by the coach/facilitator and announced, so communication is largely one-way. Team will lack fluency who but are enthusiastic and committed. They need direction and supervision to get them started. C2 – Coaching – High task focus, high relationship focus – coach still define roles and tasks, but seeks ideas and suggestions from the team. communication is much more two-way. For people who have some competence but can lack commitment. They need direction and supervision because they are still relatively inexperienced. They also need support and praise to build their self-esteem, and involvement in decision-making to restore their commitment. C3 – Participating / Supporting – Low task focus, high relationship focus – coach pass day-to-day decisions, such as task allocation and processes, to the team. The leader facilitates and takes part in decisions, but control is with the team. For people who have competence, but lack confidence or motivation. They do not need much direction because of their skills, but support is necessary to bolster their confidence and motivation. C4 – Delegating – Low task focus, low relationship focus – coach still involved in decisions and problem-solving, but control is with the team. The team decides when and how the coach will be involved. For people who have both competence and commitment-they are able and willing to work on a project by themselves with little supervision or support. George & Barrett (2011)

Development of the Team
D4 – High Competence, High Commitment – Fluent and experienced with innovation, and comfortable with their own ability to do it well. May even be more skilled than the coach . D3 – High Competence, Variable Commitment – Experienced and capable, but may lack the confidence to go it alone, or the motivation to do it well / quickly. D2 – Some Competence, Low Commitment – May have some relevant skills, but won’t be able to do the job without help. The task or the situation may be new to them. D1 – Low Competence, High Commitment – Generally lacking the specific skills required for the job in hand, but has the confidence and / or motivation to tackle it.

Evaluation Question: How do reported rates of problem behavior in Maryland Schools compare to the national average? Data Source: SWIS PBIS elementary schools in Maryland using SWIS are reporting problem behavior at a lower rate than the .34 per day per 100 students. PBIS Middle schools in Maryland using SWIS are reporting problem behavior at a lower rate than the .69 per day per 100 students PBIS High schools in Maryland using SWIS are reporting problem behavior at a lower rate than the .95per day per 100 students.

Evaluation Question: Do 80% of the students in MD Elementary PBIS schools using SWIS receive 0 or 1 office referrals? Data Source: SWIS PBIS Elementary schools in Maryland using SWIS report that 95% of their students receive 0 or 1 office referral.

Evaluation Question: What are the office disciplinary patterns by ethnicity? Data Source: SWIS African American students receive office discipline referrals more than White, Latino and Asian students in all grade levels.

PBIS Maryland 589 BOQs were received. Average score: 85%
461 SETs were received. Average score: 94% 371 schools were recognized Gold: 216 Silver: 80 Bronze: 75 And, in preparation for Recognition, and for local systems to sustain their PBIS efforts, the BOQ and SET data is also submitted. 589 BOQs—Average 80% 461 SETS—Average 96% Recognition: 371 Schools Gold: 216 Silver: 80 Bronze: 75
