2. A Problem & A Solution • Problem – A massive amount of school-wide and individual behavior data that cannot be easily analyzed or utilized • Result – We collect referrals and deal with individual incidences, but can’t get an accurate big picture in order to have a greater impact • Solution – E-Referral system using Google Docs Form • Allows for individual incidences to be quickly and efficiently communicated and addressed • Provides a comprehensive analysis of school-wide behavior for making big picture changes

3. Accessing E-Referral • Go to http://schoolpsychology.wiki.elanco.net/KevinKuhn • The first link on the wiki takes you to the E-Referral form for 2012-2013 • Bookmark the form

12. A Positive, Proactive Approach • School-wide: • We can use the data to target problem areas, times of day, and days of week with increased supervision • Incident-type data will help us to develop targeted social skills and behavior instruction • Perceived motivation data will allow us to target interventions forstudents’ underlying needs

13. A Positive, Proactive Approach • Individual: • Notation of positive incidences and commendations helps staff to “catch students being good” and allows administrators opportunities to provide individual reinforcement, both tangible (rewards) and intangible (verbal praise) • To encourage use of E-Referral to record + incidences, each time a teacher enters a commendation, their name will be entered into a monthly raffle to receive rewards and recognition (TBD)
