• effectively educate all students, including
  students with challenging social behaviors

Going to Scale with Effective Systems/Practices
If you invest, do it so it will last 10 years!

1. Implement with high fidelity
2. Must be durable
3. Must be sustained (in place 5 years)
4. Delivered by typical agents
5. Outcome data used to adapt
6. Modify to local setting
7. Establish system

What SW-PBS is

• Evidenced based practices imbedded in a systems
  change process
• A prevention continuum
• A process with conceptual foundations in Applied
  Behavior Analysis (ABA)
• A framework for organizing mental health supports
  and services

8
What does PBIS look like?

• SW-PBS (primary)
• gt80 of students can tell you what is expected of
  them give behavioral example because they have
  been taught, actively supervised, practiced,
  acknowledged.
• Positive adult-to-student interactions exceed
  negative
• Data- team-based action planning
  implementation are operating.
• Administrators are active participants.
• Full continuum of behavior support is available
  to all students

• Secondary Tertiary
• Team-based coordination problem solving
• Local specialized behavioral capacity
• Function-based behavior support planning
• Person-centered, contextually culturally
  relevant
• Capacity for wraparound facilitation
• District/regional behavioral capacity
• Linked to SW-PBS practices systems

9
Universal Example

• Leadership Team identifies need
• Response to high frequency of bullying (data)
• Lessons taught school-wide (all staff all kids)
• Direct instruction linked to Respect
  expectation
• Practice activities in all settings
• Prompts in settings (i.e. playground, halls,
  classroom)
• Recognition of skills being demonstrated
• Assessment of outcomes
• Has bullying decreased?

10
Does PBIS Implementation Result in Changes in
Student Behavior?

• Is there a reduction in Office Discipline
  Referrals when PBIS is implemented?
• Do students and faculty perceive the environment
  as more safe when PBIS procedures are
  implemented?
• Are there savings in faculty/student time?
• Are there gains in academic performance?

11
Continuum of Support for Secondary-Tertiary Level
Systems

• Targeted group interventions (BEP, Check and
  Connect, social or academic skills groups,
  tutor/homework clubs, etc)
• Targeted group with a unique feature for an
  individual student
• Individualized function based behavior support
  plan for a student focused on one specific
  problem behavior
• Behavior Support Plan across all settings (ie
  home and school)
• Wraparound More complex and comprehensive plan
  that address multiple life domain issues across
  home, school and community (i.e. basic needs, MH
  treatment as well as behavior/academic
  interventions)

12
What is Wraparound?

• Wraparound is a process for developing
  family-centered teams and plans that are strength
  and needs based
• (not deficit based)
• across multiple settings and life domains.
• Wraparound plans include natural supports, are
  culturally relevant, practical and realistic.

13
What is Wraparound?(contd)

• Blending perspectives of team members results in
  a variety of traditional and nontraditional
  strategies that are directly linked to agreed
  upon outcomes.
• The wraparound process creates a context for
  effective implementation of research-based
  behavioral, academic and clinical interventions.

14
Wraparound and PBIS

• The wraparound process is a key component on the
  continuum of a school-wide system of PBIS.
• Value-base
• Quality of Life Voice/Ownership
• Data-based Decision-Making
• Efficient Effective Actions
