Universal screening for behavior is an essential component of a three-tiered model of prevention and intervention. Abington School District will discuss the use of two universal screening tools, the Social Skills Improvement System (SSIS) and the Student Risk Screening Scale (SRSS), in three elementary buildings. Jersey Shore Area School District will discuss its use of the SRSS universal screening tool and the integration of the SRSS data with other behavioral data (SWIS) and academic data from the RtII framework.

Currently engaging in year three, eight collaborating local education agencies are developing materials to encourage culturally sustaining disciplinary practices. Time will be spent sharing outcomes as well as critical issues such as bias, racial anxiety, and stereotype threat and interventions that increase proportionate disciplinary practices.

31. Grab & Go Tier 1 Resources for PBIS Coaches/Leaders on Classroom Practices for Teachers The McDowell Institute has developed a series of free Grab & Go Tier 1 Resources on universal preventive trauma-informed practices. These resources emphasize self-reflective tools that highlight discrete instructional practices that are within the direct influence of classroom teachers. While these resources can be used independently by teachers, they can readily be incorporated within the context of coaching to support implementation of the PBIS framework with fidelity.

If you are thinking about Tier 1 fidelity in PW-PBIS , this session is for you! In this session, we will focus on the roles and responsibilties of the early childhood classroom coach to support one's program to implement PW-PBIS with fidelity. This session will provide guidance, networking discussion, strategies, problem-solving opportunites and resources.

32. Successfully Running a School Store and Activity Day Rewards in the Middle School Setting The Middle School Student can be one of the most difficult to reward for expected behavior. Join us to learn how out school successfully initiated a school store, school-wide raffles and regularly scheduled grade-level incentives. Learn how we tailored our reward system to address the interests and needs of our culturally diverse student body in order to enhance buy-in and unity among our expected behaviors.

Oh my, it’s been a year! Checking in on the program’s climate and culture. The program’s climate is a notion that may affect behaviors, attitudes, and well-being in organizational life as well as explain why some programs are more productive, effective, innovative, and successful. Let’s take a dive into the components of the Early Childhood Self-Assessment Survey and reflect on how this tool is currently being used. During this session, participants will explore the Early Childhood Self-Assessment Survey and learn how to use this data to inform their program’s goals.

We are presenting the challenges and successes of 3 schools in the School District of Philadelphia in implementing Tier 2 systems, and specifically the Check-In, Check-Out intervention.

Wescosville Elementary School will share how effective feedback to change behavior is a critical component in a Multi-Tiered System of Support. Specifically, this session will provide the nuts and bolts of establishing a powerful system of recognition. The team will also share the challenges and successes of maintaining the value of their SOAR tickets and how it is one component in the overall implementation of SWPBIS.

As PBIS coaches, access to multiple data sources is almost always at our fingertips but often, still too far from reach to have an observable impact when we do not take deliberate steps to using it in meaningful ways. Fidelity tools, screeners, surveys, and ODRs all inform the implementation of a well-rounded PBIS Framework, but how do we get the biggest return on investment in the most efficient manner possible? Let’s start by employing better practices. The Team Initiated Problem Solving (TIPS) meeting format equips coaches and teams with a meeting model that is time conscientious, and data driven. This session will provide participants with the opportunity to overlay multiple data points to better inform conversations that support improved implementation of School-Wide PBIS.

Lionville Elementary shares the ingredients used to create a multi-tiered system of support using a collaborative pre-referral/referral process. Using several case studies, the team will describe the steps taken to achieve each level of tiered support.
