Self-Assessment Survey

Self-assessment tool to determine to what extent PBIS practices and systems are in place within a school

Is PBIS warranted? Four Systems

School-Wide Non-classroom settings Classroom Individual Student

Self-Assessment SurveyWhat Information Does It Give Us?

For each of the 4 systems Current Status

% in place, % partially in place, % not in place Priority for Improvement

% of High, % of Medium, % of Low

Two main questions What behavior supports are in place? What behavior support features are most in need of

improvement?

Using the Self-Assessment Survey

Completed by as many staff members as possible

Completed prior to initial planning and annually (usually in the spring)

Best completed on-line at www.pbssurveys.org

Using the Self-Assessment Survey

Who looks at the data? Team Coach PBIS Trainers

Share the data - teachers, parents, superintendents, school boards

Purpose To determine if PBIS practices and systems are in

place To determine which behavioral systems need to

be addressed (action planning)

Self-Assessment Survey Example: School-Wide System(common language, vision, experience Involving all students, all staff, & all

settings)

Priority For Improvement

School-Wide Evaluation Tool (SET)

Designed to assess and evaluate the critical features of effective school-wide behavioral support

Research Validated Instrument of SW-PBIS outcomes tested for both reliability and validity

Summary Score and seven core feature scores that align with basic PBIS practices

Completed by an outside observer – formal report provided to the school

(Horner, et al, 2004)

PBIS Implementation Inventory A self-assessment that evaluates a school’s engagement

in the process of systems change through the implementation of SW-PBIS Completed by the School PBIS Leadership Team Developed by Tim Lewis and Lori Newcomer (University of

Missouri)  Organized to assess your schools current implementation

along a continuum (Universal, Targeted, Tertiary) and across practices, systems support, and data collection/decision making

Office Discipline Referrals

A systematic process of collecting staff managed and office managed behavioral issues with kids

PurposeFor decision makingTo monitor the outcomes of SW-PBIS effortsFor professional accountability

Solutions

ODRs for Problem Solving

How often are the problems occurring? Who is causing the problems? Where are the problems occurring? When are the problems occurring? What are the types of problems?

Look for simple solutions in the data…

Keep and revise the plan throughout the year

Summary

Five major data systems used to measure PBIS implementation and outcomes.

Each system provides important data to use in evaluating PBIS implementation and effectiveness.

Evaluations should result in Action Plans.
