Several Purposes of MiBLSi Assessments

• Audit

– for “taking stock” of current strengths/weaknesses and action planning

• Formative evaluation

– for improving program while it is in the process of being implemented

• Summative evaluation

– for improvement of future reiterations

Improving the accuracy and Consistency of Recording Office Discipline Referrals

Developing Fluency with Discipline Referral Categories

Example Exercise 2: Match the example situation below to the correct problem behavior on the discipline categories answer sheet. Write the letter in the column for Exercise 2.

Example Situation

A. Issac picked up his lunch and notice that another student was sitting in his usual spot at the table. Issac squeezes into his spot forcing the student to abruptly slide off the seat and onto the floor.

B. Ian comes to school wearing a T-shirt with a sexually suggestive picture.

C. During the test, Timothy is looking at Jennifer’s paper and copying her answers.

D. Taneshia walks to school each morning. She plays in the yard across from the school until the bell rings. After she sees al l the student run into the building, she walks towards the school, late again.

E. During lunch, Franz collects the empty milk cartons from his classmate. He sets them on the floor in a line and then stamps on the cartons making a loud noise with each stomp .

F. Alexandra has been following Ben around the playground. She sometimes makes various noises (that seems to bother him) when she is near. Sometime she tells him how she and her brother will stop him on the way home from school and beat him up.

G. Susan and Jill are best friends. Jill lives several houses down from the school. During lunch Jill talks Susan into coming over to see her new puppy. The school has a rule about staying on school property at lunch.

H. Billy’s teacher asks the class to take out their math book. Billy groans and says that math is stupid while not taking out his book. His teacher then tells him he needs to get his book from his desk. Billy says he hates math, he hates school and he is not going to do it.

I. Mr. Walter happens to walk into the boy restroom to find Matt and Chris wadding up paper towels and stuffing them into the toilet.

J. Rebecca has been having difficulty with her assignments at school. Her teacher, Ms. Swanson, sent a note home with Rebecca to be signed by her parents and returned the next day. However, when the note was returned the signature was Rebecca’s mother’s name but written in Rebecca’s handwriting.

K. The first grade class writes in a journal. The topic focuses on a particular letter each day. During th e letter “F” day, Sarah writes a word she has learned from some tough kids on the playground. She shows her journal to all of the students around her.

One major activity of MiBLSi involves professional development

Over 422 training days are currently scheduled for the 2010-2011 school year.

On-Line evaluation

• Trainer evaluation of trainer workdays

• Participant evaluation of training sessions

On-Line Evaluation Form

Trainer Work Day Questions1. The training goals were clearly defined and reviewed frequently

with checking for understanding.

2. The trainers were knowledgeable about the training content and were able to respond to participants' questions and share experiences to support understanding.

3. The trainers presented the content in such a way that promoted active engagement and opportunities for processing, working, and/or learning the content.

4. The materials were accessible in a timely manner (posted two weeks prior to trainer work day).

5. The trainer notes and activities of the day were a valuable use of my time as it relates to preparing for this upcoming training.

6. Potential challenges that participants may experience were highlighted with some ideas for addressing those challenges.

7. The big ideas of the day's training were emphasized, and areas to cut or condense were described in enough detail so that I am confident about how to adjust for different groups.

Lesson Learned

• Teams need to be taught how to analyze and use data

• Emphasis on directing resources to need and removing competing activities

• As we grow, it is even more important to systematic gather data that is accurate and then act on the data for continuous improvement
