So why am I here?

~ 110,000 schools in US

Each school has 1+ teams to address

challenges and build solutions

Each team meets at least monthly

On average there are 5 people on each team

550,000 hours of

meetings (minimum)

2,250,000 hours of

personnel time

annually

We have to make our Problem Solving Team

Do we really need a full day of team training? YES

´  Untrained teams

´  Not precise problem statements

´  Solutions were more systems oriented

´  Twice as many solutions elements

´  Non-alignment of problem and solution

´  Identified who would do what, but no timeline

´  Trained teams

´  Defined Problems with Precision

´  Solutions were more preventative, instructional & reward oriented

´  Half the number of solution elements

´  Solutions align with precision statement

´  Identified timeline and fidelity measures

Descriptive results from randomized control trial study, 2017

Start with Primary Problem Statements

Look at the Big Picture. Then use data to refine the problem to a Precise Problem Statement.

Move to Precise Problem Statements

Office discipline referrals for 3rd graders are above national medians for schools our size.

Referrals for defiance among third grade students from 11:30-12:30 in the cafeteria are increasing over time. It is believed that this is happening because students want to

avoid silent reading that happens after lunch.

Respect •  Before meeting,

complete tasks, inform facilitator of absence/tardy, avoid side talk

•  During meeting, avoid side talk, stay focused

•  Start and end meeting on time

Relevance •  Question fidelity of

implementation •  Make data based

decisions based on precision statements (what, where, when, who, why & how often)

Reality •  Think about feasibility,

social acceptability, & contextual fit

Examples of Group Agreements

Team Purpose Example

The purpose of the Tier I team is to:

´  coordinate implementation of Tier I systems and supports,

´  monitor fidelity of implementation & overall status of progress towards goals/grade level benchmarks.

´  identify & develop data based plans for new problems.

Gang-like behavior is increasing.

The buses are awful!

´  There were 45 referrals for 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders using inappropriate language on the afternoon buses because these students wanted attention from their from peers.

�  Bullying (verbal and physical aggression) on the playground is increasing during “first recess,” is being done mostly by four 4th grade boys, and seems to be maintained by social praise from the bystander peer group.

Precise or Primary Statement?

Not Precise

Precise or Primary Statement?

Minor disrespect and disruption are increasing over time, and are most likely during the last 15 minutes of our block periods when students are engaged in independent seat work. This pattern is most common in 7th and 8th grades, involves many students, and appears to be maintained peer attention.

Page 11: Abbreviated TIPS Team Training-1

Precise or Primary Statement?

A large group of kindergarten students are displaying inappropriate behaviors on the playground. This cohort of students also is known to reside in less than positive neighborhoods many of which also come from households with older siblings who have been in an out of jail across the past years. Drugs, alcohol, and violent behavior are the norm on the streets around their homes.

The boys in third grade are having behavior problems.

Six 5th grade students are loitering in the halls in the morning and have accumulated more than 10 referrals for loitering and being tardy during the past month. It is believed that they are doing this in order to avoid homework reviews that take place in the class during that time.

BuildingSolu+ons´ Brainstorm all ideas for solving the problem

´ prevention, teaching, acknowledgment, correction & extinction, safety

´ Choose the least number of things to do that will support meeting the expected outcomes (meeting the goal)

´ Determine severity, intensity and frequency of the problem to establish the priority of the problem

´ Choose solutions that best fit the context & the problem

Solution Action Elements Possible Generic Solution Actions

Prevent What can we do to prevent the problem?

Adjust physical environment. Define & document expectations and routines. Assure consistent & clear communication with all staff.

Teach What do we need to teach to solve the problem?

Explicit instruction linked to school wide expectations. Teach what to do, how to do it and when to do it. Model respect .

Reward What can we do to reward appropriate behavior?

Strengthen existing school wide rewards. Include student preferences. Use function-based reinforcers

Extinguish What can we do to prevent the problem behavior from being rewarded?

Use ‘signal’ for asking person to ‘stop’. Teach others to ignore (turn away/look down) problem behavior.

Correct What will we do to provide corrective feedback?

Intervene early by using a neutral, respectful tone of voice. Label inappropriate behavior followed by what to do Follow SW discipline procedures

Safety Do we need additional safety precautions?

Separate student from others if he/she is unable to demonstrate self-control. Make sure adult supervision is available.

Building Solution Plans: TIPS Demo School- Example A Precise Problem: Many 3rd and 4th graders are engaging in Disrespect between 11:45am and 12:00pm, near the end of their 30-minute recess with most of these instances occurring on the Playground, in Class, or in the Hall because the students want to avoid the upcoming Classroom instructional period. This occurs 1.42times per school day. Goal: Reduce instances so that the reviewed data show a rate of .20 instances per school day or less (i.e., no more than 1 instance every 5 school days) by the date of our April meeting, and to maintain at that level or lower for each successive monthly review for the remainder of the school year.

When have you gathered fidelity data?

Did I do what I said I would do?

Fidelity of Implementation

Measures the degree to which the intervention or action was implemented as defined/expected

´  Use percent/absolute value/ rate/scale as metric

´  For school-wide, strive for 80% fidelity of implementation

´  Measure monthly, weekly, or biweekly

´  If safety issue – strive for higher level of implementation fidelity

´  Make it easy to gather

´  Start simple

Are we implementing the plan?

Possible Fidelity Checklists

Establish a fidelity check routine that relates to Implementation •  A 1-5 scale is used for questions •  Up to 3 questions per week •  Share scale as a poster in the faculty room, an electronic

survey, or paper and pencil

Did you provide “high-five greetings” to all students entering your class on time in the morning this week?

Help During Your Meetings Use your table tent and meeting minute prompts

Distributing Meeting Minutes & Other Information

´  Use team member distribution list

´  Team members who are representatives from teams serve of liaison of relevant information.

´  Team determines who needs to know what and when

´  Assign a present team member to deliver the information in person, written, or phone call

´  Time sensitive?

´  announcements

´  Use meeting minutes to determine what teams/others need information from the meeting

Brief 30 min Team Meeting

•  Facilitator guides the meeting

•  Minute Taker records any decisions

•  Data Analysts review any potential new problems

•  Evaluate your meeting using the TIPS FC (leave this form for trainers)

•  Work on agenda items that have been collected today

•  Use projected meeting minutes

•  Go online for your data review
