Organizing the Work Types of Coaching • Coaching for Individual Change: focus on skill development, support and performance feedback (content specific: academic, behavior) • Coaching for Team/Group Change: focus on collaboration and facilitation, group dynamics • Coaching for Systems Change: focus on organizational change

16. School-wide PBIS is a decision making framework that guides selection, integration, and implementation of the best evidence-based academic and behavioral practices for improving important academic and behavior outcomesfor all students.

17. PBIS Implementation FrameworkSocial Emotional and Behavioral Health We organize our resources Multi-Tier Mapping, Gap Analysis So kids get help early Actions based on outcomes (data!), not procedures We do stuff that’s likely to work Evidence-Based interventions We provide supports to staff to do it right Fidelity: Benchmarks of Quality And make sure they’re successful Coaching and Support Progress monitoring and performance feedback Problem-Solving process Increasing levels of intensity

21. TIER I: Core, Universal • GOAL: 100% of students achieve • at high levels • Tier I: Implementing well researched programs and practices demonstrated to produce good outcomes for the majority of students. • Tier I: Effective if at least 80% are meeting benchmarks with access to Core/Universal Instruction. • Tier I: Begins with clear goals: • What exactly do we expect all students to learn ? • How will we know if and when they’ve learned it? • How you we respond when some students don’t learn? • How will we respond when some students have already learned? • Questions 1 and 2 help us ensure a guaranteed and viable core curriculum 21

22. TIER II: Supplemental, Targeted • Tier II • For approx. 20% of students • Core • + • Supplemental • …to achieve benchmarks • Tier II Effective if at least 70-80% of students improve performance (i.e., gap is closing towards benchmark and/or progress monitoring standards). • Where are the students performing now? • Where do we want them to be? • How long do we have to get them there? • How much do they have to grow per year/monthly to get there? • What resources will move them at that rate? 22

23. TIER III: Intensive, Individualized Tier III For Approx 5% of Students Core + Supplemental + Intensive Individual Instruction …to achieve benchmarks Where is the student performing now? Where do we want the student to be? How long do we have to get the student there? What supports has the student received? What resources will move the student at that rate? Tier III Effective if there is progress (i.e., gap closing) towards benchmark and/or progress monitoring goals. 23

25. Benchmarks of QualityCritical Elements • PBIS Team • Faculty/Staff Commitment • Expectations and Rules Developed • Plans for Teaching expectations/rules • Reward/Recognition Program Established • Effective Procedures for Dealing with Problem Behaviors • Data Entry and Analysis Plan Established • Classroom Systems • Evaluation • Implementation Plan Coaching, Performance Feedback, Administrator Support, District Support

28. Definitions Coach What is your definition? • a supporter • a partner with the team and administration • a resource for information • a liaison between team and PBIS Coordinator and/or Point of Contact (POC) • a facilitator with data-based decision making • a facilitator with PBIS implementation and the cultural change in your school • attentive to team action planning progress

29. Coaching Defined prompts that increase successful behavior & corrections that decrease unsuccessful behavior someone with credibility and experience… internal and/or external after initial training – repeatedly (e.g. monthly) on-site, in real time ? adjust intensity to fit school’s needs

30. Coaching Form of embedded, sustained professional development through ongoing relationship and cyclical process used to: • Build and refine existing skills and/or acquire new skills (individual and group) • Support person or group’s ability to apply new knowledge • Use of problem solving method with focus on data to inform practice (individual and group) • Continuous improvement – encourage, recognize and shape

31. PBIS as the FrameworkBroader Range and Higher Quality • DETERMINEOUTCOMES. • INVEST in small number of “programs”- STOP doing what is not addressing your need and not making the impact • REVIEW DATAto determine what 70- 80% of your students need • ONLY use Evidence Based programs • SUPPORT STAFF by Designing every PD that is anchored to outcomes and includes team with admin and action plan, skilled coach, performance feedback • TRACK FIDELITY • MONITOR OUTCOMES- modify if necessaryDETERMINE WAYS TO MAKE easier, more efficient • DON’TADDanything unless you connect it to framework and have data that determines the need- even when you get a new admin and superintendent!!

32. “Coaching is communicating.” R. Sprick Much of the happiness and sadness we experience flows from our ability to communicate.J. Knight, Unmistakable Impact, p. 208 http://youtu.be/_JmA2ClUvUY

33. Listening “Authentic listening is an important way to show respect for others. When we really listen, we have a chance to enter into a deeper form of communicating.” Jim Knight p. 209

34. Listening Strategies • Commit to listen. • Pause before you speak and ask, “Will my comment open up or close down this conversation?” p. 212

35. Use words that unite; avoid words that divide Use the constructive word “and” rather than “but”. This builds on, rather than blocks out, what has just been said. It advances discussions rather than anchoring them in argument.

36. Who are coaches? • Internal and External • Internal coaches are employed in the school where they provide support • External coaches are employed outside the schools where they provide support (e.g. by district, region, state).

38. Situational Coaching How will coaching change over time? • Teaching of new skill set • Seeks ideas & suggestions from team • Participates & supports • Delegates

39. Activity: Rate your current skills/knowledge

40. AVOID PITFALLS! RUSH INFORMATION PLAN AHEAD! SKIP PROCEDURES IMPLEMENT WITH FIDELITY! EXCLUDE OTHERS IGNORE FACTS INCLUDE ALL STAKEHOLDERS! MAKE DATA-DRIVEN DECISIONS!

41. Outcomes of Coaching Help teams with: • PBIS Fluency • Rapid redirectionfrom mis-applications • Fidelityof overall implementation • Sustainability over time

42. What do we do again? How can anyone possess that many skills? • Professional Development • Teaching, participating, supporting, delegating • Leadership Support • Problem Solving Skills • Resource Provider • Fluency with content area • Facilitation and Communication • Interpersonal Skills http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ve5oqG-IJqY
