School Team Members Million Dollar Question
A multi tiered systems approach for establishing the social culture and behavioral and academic supports needed for a school to be an effective learning environment for all students.
o Goal of supporting all learners in inclusive environments
o Uses multi tiered (not only 3) framework (not set in stone) to prevent problems from occurring and respond quickly to new problems
o A data driven model to prevent the development and respond effectively to known areas critical to student retention (A,B, C)
o Allows for systematic organization of all available supports and resources from preventative, remedial and enrichment opportunities
o Ensures clear and consistent expectations and routines are define, taught, acknowledged by all
o Use of evidence based practices

People aren’t tired from solving problems – they are tired from solving the same problem over and over.
Occur on a regular schedule w/ample notice• Protect the time! • At least 90 minutes each month
Maximize meeting time – efficient process• Ground Rules• Assigned Roles and responsibilities
• Facilitator• Data Analyst• Administrative representation
• Use an Agenda that all can see• Assign a time to agenda items and stick to it• Identify issues with precision through use of data

Myth: Teenagers should already know appropriate behavior.
Fact: Kids, teens, and adults need to know what’s expected in different situations, especially with large crowds.
3-5 Positively stated expectations
Expectations should be:o Broad enough to cover all potential behavioro Stated positivelyo Brief and easy to remembero Catchy – personalized to your school
Why 3-5 Positively Stated Expectations?
• They are easier to learn & remember
• Increased generalization of expectations: Same rules can be used across staff & settings
Development example:1. Team brainstorming: consider examples from
other schools, including feeder middle schools2. Determine acronym3. Department feedback and input4. Student feedback and input5. Team revising/fine tuning6. Roll out with staff and then students

If you have already developed your schoolwide expectations, share out:o What are they?o What was your development process?
If you have not developed yours yet, think of a question to ask from those who have
Common Teacher Practices

Support predictability for all students

Literature Base
A 2010 review documented 160+ publications
Effective teams use data to document progress and outcomes, guide decisions, and inform stakeholders (Boudett, City, & Murnane, 2006; Burke, 2010; Deno, 2005; Hill 2010; Newton, Algozzine, Algozzine, Horner, & Todd, 2011; Newton, Horner, Algozzine, Todd, & Algozzine, 2009; Pidgeon & Gregory, 2004; Renfro & Grieshaber, 2009)
A critical predictor of sustained implementation of SWPBIS (Coffey & Horner, 2012; McIntosh et al., 2013)
Fidelity and student outcome data are essential (Fixsen, Blase, Metz, & Van Dyke, 2013)

Fidelity measures the degree to which the item (i.e., instruction) was implemented as defined/expected.
Fidelity data is an opportunity to discuss implementation.
It’s not a gotcha!

Problem Solving with Precision
The statement of a problem is important for team‐based problem solving.• Everyone must be working on the same problem with the same assumptions.
Problems are often framed in the “primary” form. • Raises awareness• Not useful for problem solving
Precise problem statements result from a detailed data review and are solvable.
Primary vs. Precise
Primary Statements
• There are too many referrals
• Gang behavior is increasing
• The cafeteria is out of control
• Student disrespect is a big problem
Precision Statement
• ODRs from the classroom are increasing. They are for inappropriate language and dress code violations. They are most likely to occur before lunch and are related to peer attention.

2. TeachingHow can we define, teach, and monitor what we want?• Teach appropriate behavior, use problem behavior as the non‐
example
3. RecognitionHow can we build in systematic acknowledgment/rewards for positive behavior?
4. ExtinctionHow can we prevent the problem behavior from continuing to pay off? (tied to motivation/function of behavior)
5. ConsequencesWhat are efficient, consistent consequences for problem behavior?
6. EvaluationHow will we collect and use data to evaluate our fidelity and outcomes?

Action Planning Essential QuestionEssential Question:Is the student successful at this level of support?
Students themselves do not fit into a tier of supports; instead, their needs are addressed through tiered supports.
Intensity is a two‐way street. Improved student outcomes are the result of continually monitoring and modifying (as needed) instructional programs and methods.Math
Science
Social-Emotional
Language Arts
Treasure Hunt
Gather and organize data in order to gain insights about systems, practices, and data.
Questions for team discussions:• What data do we have?
• Where is the data kept?
• Who has access to the data?
• How are the data used in a decision‐making context?
• What data are you not collecting that you need to collect?
• What data are you collecting that you are not using to improve student outcomes?
Performance Gap & Cause Analysis
Performance Gap = the difference between where an organization is and where they want to be.

-Behaviors are prerequisites for academics.-Procedures and routines create structure.-Repetition is key to learning new skills.
For a youth to learn something new, it needs to be repeated on average of ? times (Joyce and Showers, 2006)
Adults average ? (Joyce and Showers, 2006)
For a youth to unlearn an old behavior and replace with a new behavior, the new behavior must be repeated on average ? times (Harry Wong)

Determine the minimum requirements for teaching behavior (i.e. how often), and plan lessons around these requirements
Provide initial lesson plans and/or lesson plan and develop a system for expanding lesson plan ideas throughout the year
Lesson plans should:• Define the expectation being taught along with
rules and routines for both the school-wide system and the classroom-wide system.
• Provide examples and non-examples of expected behaviors
• Explain how expectation applies to specific location (i.e. respect in the gym, respect in the classroom)
• Include opportunity for students to practice new skills
Select an expectation and develop a draft lesson plan relevant to a particular setting (e.g., classroom, hall, cafeteria, athletic events)
• What and How• Include examples/non examples• Opportunities for modeling and practice
• Who• When
Identify a way to evaluate the effect of the lesson plan
Lesson Plan to Address BehaviorExpectations and/or behaviors from our Matrix:
Context/Setting:
TEACHING = Tell + Model + Practice + Feedback + Re-teachTELL This component provides the what and why. This should be a brief opener to the lesson.
What is the skill?
Why is it important? In school? In other areas of life?
MODEL Teacher models with examples and non-examples. What would the behavior look like? What would the behavior not look like?
Examples Non-examples
GUIDED PRACTICE Student Activities/Role Playing or other activities
FEEDBACK Provide frequent positive feedback that is contingent and specific, re-stating the expectations/rules.
RE-TEACH (teachers should use observation and other data sources to identify when it is necessary to re-teach expectations/rules)
Teachers, co-teaching teams, grade level teams, and/or vertical teams may want to identify connections to curriculum and/or extensions of learning.
Adults may also want to cover using pre-correction, reminding, prompting, signaling, effective responding

Lesson Plans Teachers deliver lessons on expectations.
One lesson per day during the start of each quarter.
Expectation and rules taught depend on needs as depicted by data.
Post Expectations Expectations and a corresponding rule will be placed in each major location.
