What is the current process in your
school?

What is the current process for:
◦ Identification of students requiring support for
challenging behavior?
 When & how 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

SST 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 behavior problems, but often academic
intervention is the appropriate course of action

Teacher Input: Occurs at Student Centered Team meetings; not
at the IPBS meeting. IPBS meetings serve a coordinating and
monitoring function

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

Teams in IPBS Schools

IPBS Team
◦ Meets every 2 weeks
◦ Coordinates and
monitors school wide
behavioral
interventions
◦ Analyzes data
◦ Recommends changes
in interventions

Student centered
team (FBA/BSP)
◦ Meets at least twice -more if needed
◦ Creates a behavior
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 (Behavior
Support Plans based on Functional Behavioral
Assessment)
 Note Taker

Administrative Support

Attend meetings

Visible support for decision-making
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

Old Model: SST/TAT
Team Work Tasks
a)
Do you have an existing team focused on individual
student behavior 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 1st Day of School

Review Data from last year
◦ Your school data
◦ And data on incoming students (if available)

Identify students who had Behavior 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 behavioral 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 behavioral interventions in place
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!

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

Get all 5 started on CICO during 1st 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 3rd referral or 2nd
in a month
Student Requiring Additional 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?

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 behaviors

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

Behavioral Explanations for “Why”
 Don’t
forget - From student’s
perspective, problem behavior 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 Behavior to Inform
CICO Modifications

Individual Student Planning
◦ Can use information of “Function of Behavior”
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 behavior during class (participation, staying ontask, 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
behavior (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 non-responders to
guide decision making

Develop materials for modified
interventions
◦ Peer Attention
◦ Avoid Adults
◦ Escape Tasks
Systems Monitoring


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

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
