• Electronic meeting minutes

• Practice the TIPS problem solving model• Define “problems” with precision

• Define goal for resolving the problem

• Build practical solutions to meet defined goal(s)

• Define action plans to implement solutions & measure implementation integrity

• Build action plan for evaluating the impact of implementation

• Use data to make revision decisions

• Leave today ready to implement TIPS at your next meeting• Have meeting minutes to begin next meeting

• A plan for coaching support

TIPS Training Activities1. Presentation of content

2. Large Group Application of content with simulated data

3. Team Application of content with your school’s SWIS data

4. Fist of 5 Check Ins• Using a fist of 5 (fist = low/no; 5= high/absolutely), Rate your ….

• Level of understanding of the format for the day

• Purposes of Fist of 5 Check Ins• For us today:

• Check level of understanding as we progress through the content

• For you with your teams/students• Use those data for adjusting instructional time• Use those data for facilitating discussions regarding fidelity of

implementation

Why use TIPS?

• A clear model with steps for problem solving routine• Access to the right information at the right time in the right format• A formal/ predictable process that a group of people can use to build

and implement solutions.

Meeting FoundationsThe Structure of meetings lays foundation for efficiency & effectiveness

Objectives:• Have identified Primary and Backup people for roles• Have team meetings scheduled for the year• Have an established meeting minute form ready to use

Page 19: Team-Initiated Problem Solving (TIPS) MEETING FOUNDATIONS APA Citation: Todd, A. W., Newton, J. S., Algozzine, K., Horner, R. H., & Algozzine, B. (2013)

Meeting Foundations Elements

• Purpose of the team/ purpose of the meeting is clear & functional• Team agreements about meeting processes are defined• Roles & responsibilities are defined• Team member communication is efficient

• Accessibility to email, phone, meeting minutes

• Annual calendar of meeting dates, times, location is determined• Electronic meeting minutes are used

Four Keys to Effective Meetings1. Organization

• Team roles, predictable meeting process, meeting minute format

• Separate agenda items into three types

• Review status of previous problems

• Administrative logistics

• Problem Solving to determine if there are new problems

2. Data

• Access to the right information at right time in right format

3. Skills

• Problems defined with precision including a goal

• Comprehensive solution plans that “fit”

• Evaluation measures defined & monitored

• For each data source, define

• Implementation fidelity plan for each problem

• Impact of solutions for each problem

• For both fidelity and impact define

• the data that will be gathered

• how/when those data are gathered & reported

4. Adapt Solutions in response to data
