Where’d “triangle” come from….a

PBIS perspective?

“Triangle” ?’s

• Why triangle?

• Why not pyramid or octagon?

• Why not 12 tiers? 2 tiers?

• What’s it got to do w/ education?

• Where’d those %’s come from?

Public Health & Disease PreventionKutash et al., 2006; Larson, 1994

• Tertiary (FEW)– Reduce complications,

intensity, severity of current cases

• Secondary (SOME)– Reduce current cases of

problem behavior

• Primary (ALL)– Reduce new cases of

problem behavior

What is RtI?SWPBS detour

RtI

Response to Intervention

RtI: Good “IDEiA” PolicyApproach or framework for redesigning

& establishing teaching & learning environments that are effective,

efficient, relevant, & durable for all students, families & educators

• NOT program, curriculum, strategy, intervention

• NOT limited to special education

• NOT new

Quotable Fixsen • “Policy is

– Allocation of limited resources for unlimited needs”

– Opportunity, not guarantee, for good action”

• “Training does not predict action”

– “Manualized treatments have created overly rigid & rapid applications”

Questions to Ponder• What is “scientifically/evidence-based”

intervention/practice?

• How do we measure & ensure “fidelity of implementation?”

• How do we determine “non-responsiveness?”

• Can we affect “teacher practice?”

• Do we have motivation to increase efficiency of “systems” organization?

• ???

Who does SWPBS look

like?

Few positive SW expectations defined, taught, & encouraged
