Data Teaming Tier 2 Individual Student Behaviour Support
Data Teaming - Tier 2+ Individual Student Behaviour Support Chris Borgmeier Ph. D Portland State University cborgmei@pdx. edu www. tier 2 pbis. pbworks. com
What is your current process in your school? �What is the current process for: ◦ Identification of students requiring support for challenging Behaviour? �When does this occur? ◦ Assessment/discussion to understand student concerns? ◦ Intervention identification & implementation? ◦ Data collection & monitoring student progress �What is working with your current process? �What are challenges?
Individual PBIS � Efficient Teaming Process ◦ Clear roles, procedures & responsibilities � Intervention Focused ◦ Linked to Continuum of Interventions (Tier 1 2 3) ◦ Try the easy things first (Tier 2 Interventions) ◦ …then Tier 3 (FBA/BSP) � Data focused & Early Identification ◦ Progress Monitoring ◦ Student Identification through Systematic Screening
Teams in a School Tier II Universal SWPBIS Team Progress Monitoring Team Plans SW & Classwide supports Monitors effectiveness and fidelity of Tier 2 Interventions (overall and for each student) Tier III FBA Team Conducts FBA, develops BIP NOT a standing team Could responsibilities of an existing team (SBT/etc. ) be shifted? Sept. 1, 2009
SBT v. IPBS � Test/Label/Place v. Evaluate/Problem Solve/Intervene � Focus on Special Education v. services for all students (including SPED students) � Primary focus on Behaviour problems, but often academic intervention is the appropriate course of action � Teacher Input: Occurs at Student Centered Team meetings; not at the IPBS meetings serve a coordinating and monitoring function
Intensive/Individual PBIS
IPBS: The Big Ideas �Early Identification �Do the easy stuff first (efficiency is a major goal) �Processes are as important as practices �Use of Evidence Based Practices �Teaming is critical �Administrative support is critical �Data Based Decision Making
Building Level – What it Looks Like �Building capacity without relying on 1 hero �Team member roles during meetings – facilitator; time keeper; data bee; coordinators of interventions �Agenda is prepared in advance and promotes efficient group processes �Administrative buy-in/attendance ◦ Creating resources ◦ Attending meetings ◦ Follow through with system deficiencies ◦ Hiring practices
Data �All targeted and tertiary interventions are supported with progress monitoring data ◦ ◦ ◦ CICO Academic Support Classes/interventions Social Skills or Counseling Groups FBA/BSP (tertiary) plans Progress monitor data reviewed every two weeks
Continuum of Interventions & Braiding of Supports Intensive • Individually designed instruction Targeted • Core curriculum + • Pre-teach, re-teach • Small group • Supplemental programs Universal • Core curriculum • Formative Evaluation Intensive • Function-based supports Targeted • Check-in/check-out • Social skills Universal • Expectations and rules taught • Reinforce pro-social Behaviour • Continuum of consequences Kowalko et al. , 2007; Bethel School District Eugene, OR
Teams in IPBS Schools � IPBS Team ◦ Meets every 2 weeks ◦ Coordinates and monitors school wide Behavioural interventions ◦ Analyzes data ◦ Recommends changes in interventions � Student centered team (FBA/BSP) ◦ Meets at least twice - more if needed ◦ Creates a Behaviour support plan ◦ Determines what the intervention looks like ◦ Makes decisions about when to implement or modify an intervention
IPBS Team Roles � Team Leader (organizes agenda; facilitates meeting) � Process Monitor (someone whose role is to monitor group processes) � Screening Coordinator (someone who collects screening data and brings it to the meeting � Coordinators of Tier II Interventions -- CICO; Academic Seminar/Strategies; (bring progress monitor data to meetings) � Coordinator of Tier III Interventions (Behaviour Support Plans based on Functional Behavioural Assessment) � Note Taker
Administrative Support � Attend meetings � Visible support for decisionmaking process of teams � Allocates resources for: ◦ ◦ Delivery of interventions Trainings in practices; meeting times
IPBS No-No’s �Admiring the problem �Blaming the student �Extended discussions of intervention possibilities we cannot deliver �Who’s my Process Monitor? ◦ It’s time to speak up

Team Work Tasks a) Do you have an existing team focused on individual student Behaviour support in your school? 1) What are the merits/challenges of your existing process v. IPBS? 2) Would you like to? – or how can you? . . . shift the function of the team to be more effective and efficient? 3) What steps need to be taken? b) Define a team meeting schedule for the current year & next year c) Identify Team members, roles & responsibilities ◦ Team Leader, Process Monitor, Note Taker ◦ Screening Coordinator, Tier 2 Coordinator, Tier 3 Coordinator
What Do We Need to Start? � Administrator Orientation � Create a Team ◦ Recruit personnel to fill team roles ◦ Allocate resources for interventions � Start w/ CICO & FBA/BSP ◦ Team member training in processes and procedures -data sources; forms; communication patterns; etc. � Coaching ◦ Attend meetings to help team establish good meeting habits ◦ Model skills ◦ Trainings in practices
Obtaining/Maintaining Staff Buy. In �Staff Orientation ◦ Clear, logical explanation of big ideas ◦ Pre correct common misconceptions �Rapid Response ◦ Action within two weeks �Clear Communication Patterns ◦ Staff Meeting Agendas -- Summary of Current Status ◦ Systematically seeking input
District Support �District Coach attends team meetings �Trainings in practices (CICO; FBA; Academic Seminar) provided throughout school year �Technical Assistance ◦ Problem Solving ◦ Modeling FBA’s �Link to district if additional resources are needed for implementation of support plans
Student Screening & Identification Emphasize early identification
Universal Screening Before the 1 st Day of School � Review Data from last year ◦ Your school data ◦ And data on incoming students (if available) � Identify students who had Behaviour Support Plans in place per IEP (or otherwise) ◦ Prepare to implement BSP with necessary modifications from beginning of the school year � Identify returning students with more than 5 referrals last year who might benefit from Behavioural support to begin the year
Previous Years Discipline data Who needs to be on our radar from Day 1? Who had FBA/BSP’s last year? Which students moved on? Which are returning this year? Can we get data for our incoming class & new students? Decision Rule
At-Risk Students for early intervention � 13 students had 8+ referrals last year � 5 moved on to HS & 2 moved out of school ◦ 6 are returning � 11 students had 5 to 7 referrals last year � 4 left for HS & 1 moved out of school ◦ 6 are returning �Incoming students � 1 with FBA/BSP ◦ 3 with 5+ referrals in elementary school
Returning Students (8+ referrals) Three returning students had FBA/BSPs last year ◦ Students w/ 16, 11, & 10 referrals ◦ Make modifications to last years BSP & prepare to implement from beginning of school year These returning students did not have Behavioural interventions in place last year Robbie - 9 referrals last year � Jaden - 8 referrals last year � Jorge – 10 referrals last year � Logan – 11 referrals last year � Galen - 11 referrals last year � � Plan a Check-In Event (orientation) for students before the school year begins Start Supports from the beginning of year – NO WAITING TO FAIL! Get all 5 started on CICO during 1 st week of school
Continuing Screening through the Year �I-PBS team reviews student referral data every 2 weeks at each meeting ◦ Many referrals might also go directly to the CICO manager �Develop Decision Rules for continuing Student Identification through the year ◦ Example: Students receiving 3 rd referral or 2 nd in a month
Student Requiring Additional Individualized Support �For most students… ◦ Start EARLY in the school year ◦ Start with Level 2 – Check-In/Check-Out ◦ We want to do the smallest intervention that is likely to be effective for a student ◦ There should be very little time (0 -2 minutes) spent on assessment & selecting interventions at Level 2 ◦ Collect data for 2 weeks & make decision re: escalating intervention intensity
Team Tasks – Universal Screening � Develop a plan for Universal Screening to implement before Day 1 of the school year: ◦ Who will meet? when? & where? ◦ What data will you use to ID students for intervention? ◦ Develop DECISION RULES for identifying students: � At the beginning of the year? � On a continuing basis throughout the year ◦ Using your current data, which students do you want to target for intervention NOW & Next Fall? ◦ What interventions & activities will you implement to support these students from the beginning of the school year? � CICO � FBA/BSP � Other?

IPBS Meeting Evaluation
IPBS Meeting Evaluation (cont. )
IPBS Meeting Evaluation (cont. )
Activity �View the I-PBS team video �Score the I-PBS Meeting Review sheet based on the team IPBS meeting �Be ready to provide feedback re: the team’s performance
Team Task �Identify your teaming and decision making process for monitoring progress of students receiving Tier 2 interventions �Develop decision rules for: ◦ Maintaining the intervention ◦ Fading the intervention �Move to Self Management �Graduate from CICO ◦ Increasing support
Borderline Responders Interventions
Small Changes “Tweaks” � In Progress Monitoring meetings – always weighing Minutes/Kid ◦ Tweaks to the plan for Borderline Responders should only take a couple of “minutes” ◦ Not an extensive discussion � Should ◦ ◦ have a menu of quick changes/”tweaks”: Change CICO mentor Change incentives Change/individualize goals More frequent check-ins
Data Collection �Focus on Efficiency �Generic point card ◦ Expectations linked to School-wide rules ◦ Limited individualization ◦ We do not want to spend time tailoring the point card at this level of intervention
Generic Point Card No time spent individualizing
Individualized Point Card Fill in more specific Behaviours
Individualized Point Card Robbie Oct. 14 th 20 --
Team Work Time �What ‘tweaks’ do you want to develop to be ready for borderline responders? ◦ Revise or develop the materials required to make ‘tweaks’ readily available and accessible? ◦ Remember, in the meeting… decisions regarding small intervention changes or ‘tweaks’ should occur in less then 2 minutes of discussion on the student
Non-Responders Additional Tier 2 Interventions v. Escalate to Tier 3?
Additional Tier 2 Interventions v. Tier 3 Interventions �Remember focus on Efficiency in Progress Monitoring Meeting ◦ Minutes per Student �Alternate Tier 2 Intervention v. Escalate to Tier 3 Student Centered team �Trust the Process ◦ Most difficult thing = not talking about a student before it’s time �Earn conversations in student centered teams
Non-Responders – escalate to Student Centered Team Tier I Sept. 1, 2009 Tier II Universal SWPBIS Team Progress Monitoring Team Plans SW & Classwide supports Monitors effectiveness and fidelity of Tier 2 Interventions (overall and for each student) Tier III FBA Team Conducts FBA, develops BIP NOT a standing team
Behavioural Explanations for “Why” �Don’t forget - From student’s perspective, problem Behaviour serves a purpose, such as… ◦ Gaining attention ◦ Gaining access to activities or tangible items ◦ Avoiding or escaping from something student finds unpleasant
Using Function of Behaviour to Inform CICO Modifications �Individual Student Planning ◦ Can use information of “Function of Behaviour” to match students to appropriate version of CICO ◦ Function-Based Assessment might include: �Use of Brief FBA or �Data from ODRs “Possible Motivation”

Minor – “Uh-Oh”
SYSTEMS PLANNING What might this School-wide data tell us about the needs for Tier 2 interventions in this school? Middle School: Students w/ 2 + referrals ? CICO
Modifying CICO Peer Attention �Peer attention: Provide peer attention for meeting expectations ◦ Check in & out with a peer (CICO graduate/alumni club) rather than adult ◦ Earn incentives that provide rich opportunity for peer atttention �Ex: Special lunch w/ 3 friends of your choice
Peer Attention CICO Modification 32 points for 4 days = Student earns points toward Lunch or event to which he can invite 5 of his friends (Peer Attention)
Avoid Adults CICO Modification 32 points for 4 days = Student earns 10 min. in library out of class of choice (adult-free time) Do not check in with adult in am/pm; unless student IDs adult
• Academic focused CICO (Escape Tasks) Middle School Morning Check-in – Students check-in with counselor – All homework completed? Prepared for the school day with all necessary materials? – Opportunity to complete unfinished homework and to gather materials • Daily point card and Homework tracker – Receive feedback each period about Behaviour during class (participation, staying on-task, completing work) – Record assignments on homework tracker • Afternoon Check-out – Check-out with counselor – Review point card and homework tracker – Does student know what is due tomorrow? Have all materials needed to complete assignments? • Home Component – Parents review daily feedback with student – Sign card to indicate if student has completed all homework
CICO Modification Elementary Escape Academic Task � Explicitly teach an alternative/replacement Behaviour (i. e. , break requests) � Promote self-management by teaching students to “keep track” of their breaks � Establish & Teach teachers (and students) how this will look in the classroom � Make it feasible and sustainable for classroom teachers to implement
Breaks are Better Card
Team Task �Identify any modified CICO interventions you would like to develop ◦ Suggest using SW data on nonresponders to guide decision making �Develop materials for modified interventions ◦ Peer Attention ◦ Avoid Adults ◦ Escape Tasks
Systems Monitoring
Progress Monitoring Systems �No matter how good the intervention ◦ No intervention works for ALL…. Even CICO �It’s critical to track progress & Regularly evaluate: ◦ benefit of Tier 2 interventions ◦ Effective use of Tier 2 interventions ◦ To do so… effective Data Systems are needed: �See SWIS-CICO – www. swis. org
Review Fidelity Assessments Regularly & Student Outcome Data
Tier 2 Intervention Inventory
Team Task �Complete the Tier 2 Intervention Inventory at your school �Determine: ◦ How is student progress evaluated for each existing Tier 2 intervention? ◦ How do we determine if a Tier 2 intervention is cost effective (worth the investment)? ◦ How do we know if a Tier 2 intervention is being implemented with fidelity?
Fidelity Measures �Formal Measures of Implementation ◦ CICO Self Assessment ◦ Benchmark of Advanced Tiers (BAT) ◦ IPBS Meeting Evaluation �Outcome Measures ◦ # of students referred ◦ # of student responding ◦ Timely decisions for fading/escalating interventions
