Teams complete the TIC monthly
Results shared with all school personnel
Will evaluate progress toward meeting PBIS

Self-Assessment Survey (SAS)

 Is used annually to assess the effective behavior
support systems in a school. The survey examines
the status and need for improvement of four
behavior support systems:
 School-wide discipline systems
 Non-classroom management systems (e.g., cafeteria,
hallway, playground),
 Classroom management systems
 Systems for individual students engaging in chronic
problem behaviors

clearly stated student expectations or rules are
defined.
2. Expected student behaviors are taught directly.
3. Expected student behaviors are rewarded
regularly.
4. Problem behaviors (failure to meet expected
student behaviors) are defined clearly.
5. Consequences for problem behaviors are
defined dearly.

 3 – Identify Positive SW Expectations
 4 – Develop Lesson Plan for Teaching SW Positive Expectations
 5 – Develop Lesson Plans for Teaching Positive CW Expectations
 6 – Develop Continuum of Procedures for Encouraging SW Expectations
 7 – Develop Continuum of Procedures for Discouraging Rule Violations
 8 – Develop Procedures for Data-Based Decision-Making & Monitoring
School-Wide Evaluation
Tool (SET)

The SET is a research-validated instrument
that is designed to assess and evaluate the
critical features of school-wide effective
behavior support across an
academic school year.
Information Gathered Can
Be Used To:

 Assess features that are in place
 Determine annual goals
 Evaluate on-going efforts
 Design and revise procedures
 Compare year to year efforts in the area of PBIS
SET Evaluates Questions
Across 7 Areas:

 Expectations defined
 Correction procedures
 Behavioral expectations
taught
 Monitoring and
evaluation
 Acknowledgement
procedures
 Management
 District-level support
School-wide Evaluation Tool (SET)
How to get ready…

 Schedule a 2-3 hour block of time for evaluator
 Request that administrators inform staff and students that a
SET evaluator will be on site and randomly asking staff and
students questions (1-2 minutes per person maximum)
 Schedule the administrator interview at the beginning of
the visit (approximately 20-30 minutes)
 Assure that 3 PBIS team members can be interviewed as
part of the 10 staff interviews
 Assure that students (15) are randomly available for
interviews (2 questions)
Assemble the Following
Documents for the SET…

 School discipline handbook (discipline procedures)
 Office Discipline Referral Form/positive behavior
acknowledgment systems (SWIS or other)
 Behavioral incident summaries or reports (e.g., office
referrals, suspensions, expulsions)
 School improvement plan goals indicating behavior as a
goal
 Annual Action Plan with timelines for meeting SW-PBIS
goals (PBIS Team)
 Staff agreements on 3-5 PBIS expectations
 Teaching matrix, copies of lesson plans for teaching
behavioral expectations
If the document has not yet been developed,
just let the evaluator know.
SET Evaluators

Choose a staff member (part of
application)
Will need training (2-3 hour webinar &
3 hour reliability check
Conduct SET (2-3 hours onsite, travel,
report
SET: Fall & Spring
SWIS – School Wide
Information System

Web-based information system for gathering,
entering, summarizing, reporting and using
office discipline referral information
Teams use this discipline data to drive the
PBIS process in their buildings
SWIS – School Wide
Information System

Generally teams look at 5 main graphs to
help them make data-based decisions for
their building:
1) Average referrals per day/per month
2) Referrals by problem behavior
3) Referrals by location
4) Referrals by time
5) Referrals by student
