National - Challenges for Districts• Making Universal supports available for ALL

• Referrals to Special Education seen as the “intervention”

• FBA viewed as required “paperwork” vs. a needed part of designing an intervention

• Relying on interventions the system is familiar with vs. ones likely to produce an effect

• Moving from one-student at a time (reactive approaches) to capacity (systems) within schools to support ALL who need Secondary/Tertiary.

Rationale

Page 10: PBIS: Social Skills Instruction as Part of a Comprehensive, Integrated, Three Tiered Model of Prevention Taryn Gaskill, SSD PBIS Facilitator Lisa Leonard,

National - Observations of Current Systems/Practices

• Schools did not have continuum of interventions– After Universal, just 1 or 2 types of Secondary (Tier 2) & Sp. Ed. was only

Tertiary (Tier 3) “intervention”

– None used CICO, some had CnC (but thought was CICO)

• All schools had some opportunity for referral for assistance– But were NOT using data for automatic entrance into interventions

• No/minimal Universal screening

• Lack of data-based decision rules (ex. 2 ODRs = entrance to CICO)

• Tracking intervention effectiveness not on the radar• Data weakest link

– Data-based decision rules for entrance into Tier 2 & 3 interventions unclear

• Principals and clinicians treating discipline problems/approaches, SpEd testing/placement and “PBIS” as separate entities.

• All students are eligible for participation (Lane, Robertson, et al., 2006).

• Approximately 80% of students respond to this level (Gresham, Sugai, Horner, Quinn, & McInerney, 1998; Sugai & Horner, 2006).

• Examples of Primary Prevention • Validated literacy curricula• Violence prevention• Conflict resolution programs• Anti-bullying programs• Schoolwide social skills instruction• Character Education Programs

• Students who do not respond to the primary prevention plan, 10-15% of students.

• Focused intervention to address academic, behavior, or social concerns:• Acquisition (can’t do)• Fluency (trouble doing)• Performance (won’t do)

• Examples of Secondary Prevention • Small group instruction in anger management• Reading comprehension strategies

Intervention

• Academic or behavior interventions are strategies or techniques applied to instruction in order to teach a new skill, build fluency in a skill, or encourage the application of existing skills to a new situation.

MO Dept. of Elementary & Secondary Education, Special Education, Compliance

Page 25: PBIS: Social Skills Instruction as Part of a Comprehensive, Integrated, Three Tiered Model of Prevention Taryn Gaskill, SSD PBIS Facilitator Lisa Leonard,

Tier 2 Interventions

• For students who… – Are at-risk for an academic and/or social-behavioral

concern– Continue to engage in frequent problem behavior

despite effective schoolwide, tier 1 prevention efforts

– Need additional teaching, monitoring and feedback – Could benefit from extra attention or support at

school before they are in crisis

(Crone, Hawken & Horner, 2010)

Page 26: PBIS: Social Skills Instruction as Part of a Comprehensive, Integrated, Three Tiered Model of Prevention Taryn Gaskill, SSD PBIS Facilitator Lisa Leonard,

Tier 2 InterventionsFor students with…• Low level problems

– Non-compliance, disrespect– Work completion– Attendance, tardy

• ODR 2-5, classroom minor 4-6 range• Behavior occurs across multiple locations• Students with internalizing concerns, but not

self-injurious

Page 27: PBIS: Social Skills Instruction as Part of a Comprehensive, Integrated, Three Tiered Model of Prevention Taryn Gaskill, SSD PBIS Facilitator Lisa Leonard,

Key Features of Tier 2 Interventions

• Continuous availability & quick access to the intervention

• Similar implementation across students • Low effort by classroom teachers• Intervention is consistent with schoolwide

expectations

Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP, 2005)

Page 28: PBIS: Social Skills Instruction as Part of a Comprehensive, Integrated, Three Tiered Model of Prevention Taryn Gaskill, SSD PBIS Facilitator Lisa Leonard,

Key Features of Tier 2 Interventions• Criteria for access to Tier 2 interventions is clearly

established• All staff trained on how to make a referral, and

how to implement the intervention• Data are used continuously to monitor progress

and to determine when a student will exit the intervention or when supports will be intensified.

• System for communicating with participating student, staff and families is developed

Actions & Interventions

Social Skill Strengths: student knows and uses social skills consistently and appropriately

Reinforce to maintain desired social behaviorUse student as a model for other students

Performance Deficits Use behavior techniques to increase student practice and performance of desired social behavior

Frequency Deficits Provide extensive opportunities to practices across a wide range of exemplars

Acquisition Deficits Direct instruction of the desired social behavior

Competing Problem Behaviors Use behavior techniques to reduce interfering behaviorsCollect further information (e.g. FBA - direct observations, interviews, comprehensive assessment of problem behaviors).

The Power Of Teaching

• “If a child doesn’t know how to read, we teach.”• “If a child doesn’t know how to swim, we teach.”• “If a child doesn’t know how to multiply, we teach.”• “If a child doesn’t know how to drive, we teach.”• “If a child doesn’t know how to behave, we … …

teach? … remove? … punish?”

Why can’t we finish the last sentence as automatically as we do the others?

PBIS Philosophy (pbismaryland.org)

Page 33: PBIS: Social Skills Instruction as Part of a Comprehensive, Integrated, Three Tiered Model of Prevention Taryn Gaskill, SSD PBIS Facilitator Lisa Leonard,

Misbehavior = Learning Error

Students learn appropriate behavior in the same way they learn to read – through

instruction, practice, feedback,

and encouragement.

Exit Criteria• What student outcome do you intend to

impact?– Related back to your Decision Rules of “Student

Response to Interventions”• How much of the progress monitoring is a

part of this criteria? • Time bound - (ex: 4 weeks of meeting criteria)• Transition Plan- How will we fade out/transition

students

Page 46: PBIS: Social Skills Instruction as Part of a Comprehensive, Integrated, Three Tiered Model of Prevention Taryn Gaskill, SSD PBIS Facilitator Lisa Leonard,

Planning for Generalization

Key feature of Social Skills Instruction:• Teaching behavior in context and with a plan for it to

be utilized in a variety of settings• Signs and cues used by staff to prompt for the desired

behavior throughout settings• Behaviors are being adapted to produce similar

outcomes in different environments• Reinforcers need to be transferred through out

environments • Continuous progress monitoring

Matrix Expectations Be ResponsibleMatrix Rule and StepsList rule from matrix and steps to complete the rule

Following Directions means: Listen attentively Raise hand to speak or ask questions Begin task immediately

ContextIdentify the location(s) where performance of rule is expected

All Settings 

TellIntroduce the rule and why it is important

“Today we are going to review the skill I can follow directions”. Read the rule and steps.Brainstorm with the class a list of adults that they encounter on any given day at school. These would include their own teachers, specialists, PE coaches, secretaries, media specialists, lunchroom workers, bus drivers, custodians and many others. Discuss why it is important to follow directions given by all adults in the building.

ShowTeacher demonstrates or models the rule. Teacher models non-examples

An adult blows the whistle on the playground, all students stop playing, look to see that the path to their lineup spot is clear and move keeping their hands and feet to themselves to their lineup spot.

The teacher directs the class to push their chairs in and lineup. The class politely pushed in their chairs and forms a line, getting in their line order and leaving space for other to get in line. They get to their special class on time.

Page 50: PBIS: Social Skills Instruction as Part of a Comprehensive, Integrated, Three Tiered Model of Prevention Taryn Gaskill, SSD PBIS Facilitator Lisa Leonard,

PracticeGive students opportunities to role play the rule across al relevant settings

Give a direction, such as clear your desk, and time students to see how quickly they comply

“Simon Says” game: practice with this follow the leader game to reinforce compliance with directions.

Role-play procedures such as lining up at the end of recess. Have one student be the “supervisor” and have that child verbalize the positive things they notice.

Monitor Pre-correct/RemindAnticipate and give students a reminder to perform behavior

“Before I give the next directions, let’s review the steps to following directions. They listen attentively, raise hand to speak or ask questions and begin task immediately.”

Supervise Move, scan, and interact with students

After directions are given, move, scan, and interact with students to give them feedback about how they are following directions and correct as needed.

FeedbackObserve student performance & give positive, specific feedback to students

Thank you for following the fires drill expectations and safely exiting the building

Great job of counting off quickly and moving to numbered corners. That show responsible use of our learning time. I heard some interesting discussion…

ReteachPractice throughout the day

Have students share examples of when they followed directions.

Share examples of someone you saw following directions promptly and tie compliance to positive outcomes such as more time for recess because the class was timely in getting lined up.

Treatment Integrity

• Monitor the extent to which interventions are implemented as planned, so that the school staff can be confident that the improvements they see are a result of the intervention (treatment integrity; Gresham, 1989).

• When intended results do not occur, is it due to insufficient implementation or low treatment integrity?
