How is it working?
H.U.G. students’ rate of academic growth shows a significant increase with this support. Example: oral reading fluency of 2 population.
nd grade HUG students increased 50% as compared to the 21.8% increase of the general
On average, 85% of students met their goal daily.
Most H.U.G. students remain on the program for approx. 3 to 6 months and then graduate to the “Personal Challenge” or “Self-Manager” level.
Students participating in H.U.G generally experience a reduction in office discipline referrals of at least 40%.

. . . and what we’ve learned
Data-based decision making does work
The H.U.G. philosophy has become an integral part of how all staff works with every student
With less or no dollars, it remains a priority
Students are finding success across all boundaries in their lives
Critical Elements For Success
Use data to look at the WHOLE child
Find as many school staff as possible to celebrate ANY goal successes
The check-in person MUST be positive and consistent
Individualize plans and rewards with creativity, flexibility and authenticity
Is the H.U.G. Program right for your school?
Faculty and staff commitment
Are there students with multiple referrals?
Are staff willing to commit 5 min per day per student?
Is H.U.G. a reasonable option for you?
H.U.G. is designed to work with students needing “yellow zone” interventions H.U.G. does NOT replace need for individualized supports within and outside of the classroom.
Team Available
H.U.G. Coordinator (reviews data weekly) H.U.G. Check-in Person (mornings and afternoons) Intervention Team (meets at least monthly) to review progress of the intervention
Adapted from: Horner, Sugai, Todd, Rossetto-Dickey, Anderson, Scott 2007

Using the resources you have, how might you overcome these challenges
Group sharing of solutions.
Questions to take back to your school
Who could be your H.U.G coordinator?
What resources does your school have to support H.U.G.?
What student data do you collect that can be used in making decisions for H.U.G.?
How will you get commitment or buy-in from staff?
