  1. Aligning Initiatives in a Multi-Tiered System of Support Framework McKenzie Harrington-Bacote Laconia, NH Michael Petrasek & Emily Jordon Ohio

  2. Social Competence & Academic Achievement SW-Positive Behavior Support OUTCOMES Supporting Decision Making Supporting Staff Behavior DATA SYSTEMS PRACTICES Supporting Student Behavior

  3. Key Features of Effective Alignment • Align multiple initiatives at the organizational level where a common budget authority exists. • Align multiple initiatives by using a common outcome measureto assess effectiveness. • Build aligned professional development by comparing and combining the “core features” of multiple initiatives. • Compare fundamental assumptions • Start with common “core features” and compare the practices used to achieve these features. • Determine how to incorporate additional core features with efficiency • Build single Professional Development curricula that combine core features. Goodman & Horner, 2016

  4. Will Require District-wide Systems and Processes

  5. District-Wide Basic Logic • All schools receive training & support to implement essential Universal behavior support practices and systems - Local variations • District develops (and revises based on outcomes) a standard Tier II and III system including integrated practices • A percentage of current behavioral expertise must move from traditional case by case, to supporting school team Tier II & III systems

  6. Example District-wide Tier II System • Data-based student identification • # of behavior infractions (majors/minors) • Teacher referral (standard district form) • Screening (standard district-wide tool) • Limit range of practices • Self-management (CICO, Check & connect) • Social Skill Instruction (2-3 curriculum) • Academic Supports (RtI, accommodations)

  7. District Data-Based Decision makingTFI & SAS

  8. Rethinking Professional Development and Technical Assistance • Moving from a case by case expert model to building “expertise” in the school • Primary focus of TA is on teaching the school team to solve problems or address challenges for themselves with district resources • However, need for specialist will always remain to assist students and teachers

  9. SCTG LEA integration McKenzie Harrington-Bacote, M.Ed. Laconia School District, NH Administrator, Office of School Wellness

  22. % of students with 0-1 odr

  23. Disability disproportionality of odrs

  24. In and out-of-school suspensions

  32. Support must be top-down and mandated by Superintendent with School Board support • One Administrator grant writing, coordinating funding streams, and directing implementation • PBIS District Coordinator and external MTSS Consultants critical to district-wide coordination and implementation • Pilot/prototype new ideas in 1-2 schools before district rollout • Cross-train staff • Include the “nay-sayers” for full-school buy-in Lessons learned

  33. Strategically select key members for each Tier team and staff to receive intensive PBIS PD • Fidelity measures dip with Administrative and Staff turnover – this is unavoidable • Full implementation 5-10 years • Acronym overload – simple and consistent language is necessary • Never reinvent the wheel (don’t be afraid to ask) • Utilize Community Partners & Resources Lessons learned

  44. Lessons Learned: Networks • Initially people will join because they don’t want to be left out, but….. • Need a shared vision and a commitment • An external process consultant helps • A paid leader helps

  45. Lessons Learned: Networks • Shared leadership • Identified process/person for meeting minutes, document sharing, meeting agendas, securing a meeting location • Administrative Buy-in

  46. Lessons Learned: Challenges • Large groups are inefficient - workgroups • Time and money • Plan for set-backs • “My work” comes first • Sustainability • Communication and documentation
