LEADERSHIP TEAM

1. Leadership Team is configured to address multi-school (district) and/or multi-district (region, state) leadership and coordination.

• The SWPBS Implementation and Planning Self-Assessment is focused on district,

regional, and/or state level leadership team planning. However, its features have applications to any large scale practice adoption and sustained/scaled implementation.

• The Leadership Team’s primary function is to engage in leadership and coordination functions, which support and sustain accurate implementation of a continuum of evidence-based SWPBS practices. Its activities are configured around following SWPBS Implementation Blueprint features: (a) capacity building for training, coaching, evaluation, and coordination; (b) administrative participation for political support, visibility, funding, and policy; and (c) demonstrations of school and district implementation.

• The overriding mission or purpose of this team is to provide overall leadership related to assessing, developing, implementing, managing, and evaluating a state, regional, and/or district-level comprehensive system of SWPBS for all students. This team is responsible for the coordination of training, coaching, and evaluation activities related to SWPBS implementation. This team develops a 3-5 year action plan to guide its capacity building and coordination activities and to achieve the mission or purpose of the SWPBS implementation effort.

PBIS District Level Team Meeting Observation

1. What district level system pieces did you hear them talk about?

2. What comparisons might you make between this meeting and your own?

3. What learning do you want to take with you as you plan your next PBIS DLT meeting?

3. Blueprint Self-Assessment

District Action Plan

To the greatest extent possible, leadership should strive toward integration of teams and committees that have common behavior-related mission

What committees/work groups can we eliminate?

What committees/work groups can we combine?

What committees/work groups need to be supported for improved outcomes and sustained functioning?

What would an organizational chart look like that shows the relationship between each of our recommended committees/work groups?

Working Smarter Not Harder Worksheet

9. Decision making authority

Add 1 new initiative;Take 2 away!

How might we help teams to make these decisions? What should they pay attention to?
