Introductions: “That’s Me”
• Roles– Teachers– Administrators
• Superintendents/Assist• Directors• Principals/Assist.
– Clinicians– Family member– Researcher/Instructor– Specialist
• School Psych.• Social Worker• Counselor• Behavior specialist
• Level of Implementation– Tier 1 – Tier 2 (one intervention) – Tier 2 (two or more interventions) – Tier 3 (one intervention) – Tier 3 (two or more interventions)
Outcomes
Participants will be able to :
• Identify the key features of system level supports for scaling up efforts
• Identify and apply components needed for Effective Tier 2 interventions: Social Skills Instruction
• Apply critical features of social skills intervention at the school level
What would you like to walk away with from this session?
Student Outcomes
• 10-15% of student body will access Tier 2 interventions which includes students with disabilities.
• 70% or more, of students accessing Tier 2 interventions will respond positively.
Agenda
• Review systems approach to a multi-tiered level of intervention and prevention.
• Teach critical features of a targeted intervention.
• Development of intervention plans for Social Skills.
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
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
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)
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
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)
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)
Misbehavior = Learning Error
Students learn appropriate behavior in the same way they learn to read – through
instruction, practice, feedback,
and encouragement.
Critical Features of Social Skills Group Intervention
• Student selection• Selecting/identifying curriculum• Training social skills instructor/s• managing the group- providing modeling and feedback• Providing effective instruction-targeting specific social
skills deficits• Planning for generalization-additional supports to
practice• Evaluating results

Social Skills Group
Identified students meet three days each week during the enrichment block for 30 min lessons focused on improving specific social skills deficits. Students meet with school psychologist or interns 2 days a week for 30 minutes lessons for 10 weeks in the student’s specific areas of concerns (see Lane, Wehby, Menzies, Doukas, Munton, & Gregg, 2003; Miller, Lane, & Wehby, 2005). This group would be held in a designated classroom or office.

subscale score; and there are no ODRs related to peer problems
during the same reporting cycle.
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
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
EXAMPLES
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.
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?
Feature Question/description Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday
1
Teacher provided prompts (skills steps on poster and DPR) to student throughout the day
2
Teacher provided positive reinforcement to student throughout the day
3
Teacher had a brief checking in conversation with student before lunch.
4
Teacher had an end of the day conversation with the student and filled out DPR with child.
Treatment Integrity ChecklistDirections: Write “yes” or “no” in response to each question. Fill out this form daily.
Social Validity
• Social Significance – will this intervention improve the student’s quality of life? GOAL
• Social acceptability –Do all agree that the intervention is necessary, appropriate, supports positive outcomes, minimally disruptive and worth the effort to attain the goal? PROCEDURES
• Social importance –Does this intervention have the
potential to produce socially important OUTCOMES?
