Making it Happen! Using the Science of
Implementation to GuideBest Practices in PBIS
December 1, 2011Susan Barrett
Implementer Partner, Center on PBIS
1
Themes for Today
1) Implementation Science is applicable across our work
2) It’s essential to have consistent leadership at the SU/District level
3) We must address what drivers enable change and are resistance to change
2
Outcomes•Understand Implementation Science within
multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS)• Identify the Stages of Implementation and plan
for moving from one stage to the next•Explore a school/SU/District leadership team
structure that fits within your cultural context•Review implementation dips and identify
strategies for overcoming them •Hear from colleagues about how they “Make it
Happen!”•Create an Implementation/Sustainability Action
Plan
3
Who’s Here?
•What stage of PBIS implementation are you in?▫Are you exploring? Have you rolled-out?
Have you been implementing for 2+ years?
•What role are you? ▫SU/District Coordinator? Building
Administrator? PBIS School Coordinator? Other?

“Here is Edward Bear, coming downstairs now, bump, bump, bump, on the back of his head, behind Christopher Robin. It is, as far as he knows, the only way of coming downstairs, but sometimes he feels that there really is another way, if only he could stop bumping for a moment and think of it. And then he feels that perhaps there isn't.” ― A.A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh

Activity
•As a team:▫Identify one or two things in your SU/District
that helps in your exploration, implementation, or sustainability of PBIS
▫Identify one or two challenges that get in the way of PBIS exploration/implementation/sustainability
16
So, what is the Science of Implementing Evidence Based Practices and why is it important?
“Organization is what you do before you do something, so that when you do it, it’s not all mixed up.” ― A.A. Milne
17
We must think carefully about our purpose, players, and position to determine priorities and courses of action
(Harn, 2008)“I think you should be more explicit here in step two.”
Then a Then a miracle miracle occurs occurs

FACT
Students cannot benefit from interventions they do not
experience

Implementation Definition
•What do we mean by implementation?
▫“A specified set of purposeful activities at the practice, program, and system level designed to put into place a program or intervention of known dimensions with fidelity.”
22
Implementation Science Definition
•Implementation science is universal (like physics, chemistry)
•All human services (and beyond)▫Shared experience & learning▫Rapidly advance implementation best
practices, science, and public policy

Lesson 1
What is known is generally not what is adopted
Implementation Gap
There are not clear pathways to implementation
What is adopted often is not used with fidelity and good effect
What is implemented disappears over time and with staff turnover
26
Let’s Take a Walk Down Memory Lane…One SU Story
Let’s Take a Walk Down Memory Lane…
One SU Story
27
Once Upon a time ...
• In a Vermont Supervisory Union long ago and far away: ▫Four school teams attend the VTPBiS Intro
Forum and get excited about exploring PBIS.
▫Principals ask Superintendent if it would be a problem if their schools participate in the training…answer “go ahead”
▫BEST/Act 230 grant application is completed and funds are approved
28
Then…
•Vermont Supervisory Union: ▫ Intent to Implement Agreement is sent from SU to
State indicating…”We are committed!”
▫State level coach is assigned to support SU and schools.
▫Schools receive training and roll-out at the Universal Level. One school becomes an exemplar at this level.
▫All four schools meet SET criteria to move to targeted training and do so.
▫SU PBIS Coordinator has yet to be identified.
29
Then…•Vermont Supervisory Union: ▫One year later the new SU Special Education
Administrator is assigned the role of PBIS SU Coordinator.
▫Concurrently, all four schools are chosen to participate in Vermont’s first Intensive PBIS cohort
▫The PBIS SU Coordinator introduces a “new behavior initiative”. A definitive connection with PBIS is not made.
▫School “leadership teams” are required to participate in training for the “new behavior initiative” and the SU puts PBIS in the backseat but not out the door.
▫All four schools decide not to implement Intensive PBIS practices and instead decide to focus on targeted practices
30
Then…
Two years later, the PBIS SU Coordinator leaves his position. Both the new behavior initiative and PBIS flounder. All of the buildings say their universal and targeted strategies are not sustaining, however they are committed to staying the course.
THE END!
31
Sound Familiar?
Talk amongst yourselves. What are the lessons from this story and how do they apply to your school/SU/district?
32
Lesson 2Excellent evidence for what does not work
Implementation by edict/ accountability by itself does not work
Implementation by “following the money” by itself does not work
Implementation without changing supporting roles and functions does not work
Paul Nutt (2002). Why Decisions Fail
33
Lesson 3 Two Sides of the Same Coin “What” AND “How”
To successfully implement and sustain the use of any intervention, framework, practice, or program you need to understand:
The WHAT - The “it”. What is the intervention, framework, practice or program (e.g. the Pyramid Model, PBIS, RTI, Literacy)
ANDThe HOW - Effective implementation and sustainability frameworks (e.g. strategies to change and maintain behavior of adults)
34
Implementation Science
•An effective intervention is one thing
•Implementation of an effective intervention is a very different thing
• An effective innovation is one thing• An effective evidence-based practice is one thing.

•Letting it happen▫Recipients are accountable
•Helping it happen▫Recipients are accountable
•Making it happen▫Implementation teams are accountable

Alice in Wonderland
"Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?”
"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to," said the Cat.
"I don’t much care where--" said Alice."Then it doesn’t matter which way you go," said the
Cat."--so long as I get SOMEWHERE," Alice added as an explanation.
"Oh, you’re sure to do that," said the Cat, "if you only walk long enough."

Activity
Step 1: Identify all programs/initiatives/common practices by tier
•Tier I- How do you support all children? Core Curriculum- “everyone gets”
•Tier II, III How do you support students who need more support? How do you build on the foundation so that all Tier II, III activities are a natural extension of core curriculum?
Step 2: Identify outcome for each practice. How do you measure effectiveness?(Staff performance) How do monitor progress? (student impact) How do you support teachers? (staff support)How are they linked to School Improvement? (integrated approach)
48
Outcome # 2:Identify the stages of implementation and plan for moving from one stage to the next

“Scaling up is defined as having enough of something so that it is useful. Scaling up is the process of moving from “exemplars” to the “typical.” The process of scaling involves the development of organizational capacity to move from exemplars sustained by extra-ordinary supports, to typical application with typical supports”.

To set up the necessary and sufficient conditions to support school leadership teams to be effective in supporting implementation at the building level
73
Various Levels of Leadership Team Work
1. Preparing for and Organization of Leadership Team
2. Creating Readiness for Local Implementation
▫ Developing commitment (priority)
▫ Develop or enhance infrastructure (local team structures)
3. Implementation
▫ Developing implementation capacity
▫ Focus on fidelity
4. Scale-Up/Sustainability
74

• Completing a self assessment• Creating a 3-5 year action plan• Establishing regularly scheduled meetings• Identifying a coordinator to manage and facilitate• Securing stable funding for efforts• Developing a dissemination strategy to establish
visibility (website, newsletter, conferences, TV)• Ensuring student social behavior is a top priority of
the district• Establishing content expertise to build and sustain
school-wide behavior practices.• Developing a coordinating network (each school
identifies a school coordinator)• Evaluating school-wide behavior support efforts.
76
Activity
•With regard to PBIS implementation, in which stage is your building staff and SU/District in?
•Review/complete the VTPBiS Leadership Team Self-Assessment and Planning Tool
77
Critical Questions: SU/District Leadership Team• Are the curriculum and supports across
buildings all focused on the same mission and outcome—e.g., meeting district standards? (Common Core, VT Standards?)
• Are all services deployed/distributed in a multi-tier frame consistent with student need and performance rather than based simply on student population in a school?
•Do the student outcome data reflect an efficient and effective implementation system across buildings?
• Can a parent take a student to any building in the local district and realistically expect the same positive outcome for their student?
78
Critical Questions:Building-based Team
•Are the curriculum and supports in the building all focused on the same mission and outcome—e.g., meeting SU/District standards?
•Are all services deployed/distributed in a multi-tier frame that is consistent with student need and performance?
• Is the curriculum integrated across the tiers?•Are students engaged with the learning
environment?•Do the student outcome data reflect an
efficient and effective implementation system?
79
Activity
•What does a Leadership Team look like within the your SU/District cultural context?

Our Challenge!
Support all Vermont schools and supervisory unions who adopt PBIS to build their capacity to:
• implement PBIS with fidelity over time •experience a decrease in problem behaviors,
an increase in instructional time, enhanced staff collaboration, and more informed family engagement.
•experience increased levels of student engagement, inclusion and success in meeting academic and behavioral learning goals.
94
Examine implementation dips and identify strategies for overcoming them
95
Potential Pitfall #1
•Implementation too loosely defined
Focus on the fun, easy parts!!!
96
Opportunity: Define the “it”
•Invest in multi-tiered framework▫Organizing▫Integrating▫Apply same logic to all interventions
•Contextual fit▫Your story
97
Multi Tiered Framework is innovation neutral
•Lessons learned are applicable to any innovation
•Language is neutral•Training morphed into activity based▫Resource Mapping▫Gap Analysis
▫ETAG Example- AA County
98
Potential Pitfall #2
•Interventions not managed well
99
Opportunity: Organizational Opportunity: Organizational HealthHealthAdministrator and Administrator and Leadership Key!Leadership Key!Establish a kind of “haven”- place that
individuals feel safe about reporting concerns, supported by school community and empowered to be a part of the decision making process- “Community of Practice”▫ Tools: Self Assessment, Fidelity Checks,
ODRs, climate surveys, satisfaction surveys▫ Provide data summaries within a week of
return – decide best approach to deliver feedback

Opportunity: Plan for the Development of the Team/StaffT4 – High Competence, High Commitment –
Fluent and experienced with innovation, and comfortable with their own ability to do it well. May even be more skilled than the coach .
T3 – High Competence, Variable Commitment – Experienced and capable, but may lack the confidence to go it alone, or the motivation to do it well / quickly.
T2 – Some Competence, Low Commitment – May have some relevant skills, but won’t be able to do the job without help. The task or the situation may be new to them.
T1 – Low Competence, High Commitment – Generally lacking the specific skills required for the job in hand, but has the confidence and / or motivation to tackle it.
