NH RESPONDS
Intensive Support Team
Tier III Behavioral Intervention
Chamberlain Street SchoolRochester, NH
Motivating Concerns: 2010-2011
Big concern about high frequency of students at risk for flight and escalation to crisis
Urgent need for a systematic response to children in crisis
Need for the creation of a crisis response team
Need to be proactive and preventative with students with intensive needs
What Did We Learn When we Looked at the Response System in 2010-2011?
Primary responders were the building administrators
This left minimal administrative time for the support of other important initiatives and supporting students with lower-urgency concerns
Initial strategies were reactive, rather than proactive
Office referral system and data collection were in need of an overhaul: Need for redefinition of minor and major behavioral concerns
Identify students at risk for flight or escalation
Protocols for the response
Planning involved creation of a school map with stations
Flight response drills
Roll-outs for all staff members to identify what behavioral concerns warrant a teacher response, what behavioral concerns activates the flight response team, and what are the “close-confusers”
Office staff records assistance calls
Developing the Crisis Response System
Considerations when Implementing Tier III for Intensive Behavioral
Supports Space
Data collection
Communication system (cell phones or walkie talkies)
Office cooperation, serves as information hub
Tier III staff needs specialty training (CPI, LSCI, conflict cycle knowledge)
School-wide consensus that this is absolute priority
Designation of an adequate number of personnel to successfully meet the responsibilities of this strategy
More Considerations....
Choose staff that are flexible, skillful, patient and encouraging
“Buy-in” from staff and from district level administration
Refinement & Restructuring the Tier 3
System June 2011 brainstorming began:
Recruitment of Intensive Support Team membership
Decisions about what the team will be responsible for and what the team will implement (mission)
Establishment of regular meeting schedule for the upcoming school year
Fall 2011 EffortsTeam process and procedures defined including membership, team mission, roles, action plan log, process for team decision, and agenda development
Tier III CEBIS Self-assessment completed and adopted as a framework for continuing action items
Fidelity of the use and reporting protocols for restraints and safety room with legal guidelines and district policies
Current EffortsMaintenance of an Intensive Support Log
Coordination of FBAs and BSPs with increased emphasis on the progress monitoring of student behavior
Proactive daily student check-ins, sensory interventions and earned breaks based upon analysis of collected data
Continuing professional development integrated with instructional team meetings in attempting to educate staff to think appropriately about behavioral functions and be more effective with behavioral intervention strategies
Next Steps.....
Expansion of Tier III supports targeting LSCI, wrap-around strategies and coordination of supports with community-based service agencies
Training for general staff related to appropriate response strategies during intensive behavioral incidents
Continued professional development through instructional team meetings targeting CPI verbal mediation strategies and the conflict cycle
Development and implementation of a sustainability plan targeting building and district level supports for the model and the resources to support it
Developing a model that can be replicated in other SAU schools
