Day 1
• Welcome and Introductions
• Review of the PBIS Continuum of Support
• Overview of Secondary Interventions (Tier II)
• Check In Check Out/ BEP Program
• Getting Started
• Staff Orientation
• Student Identification
Introduction
The Challenge
• Students come to school without skills to respond to instructional and behavioral expectations (Sprague, Sugai & Walker, 1998)
• Teachers report that uncivil behavior is increasing and is a threat to effective learning (Skiba and Peterson, 2000)
• Students who display severe problem behavior are at-risk for segregated placement (Reichle, 1990)
Exclusion and punishment are the most common responses to severe problem behavior in schools (Lane & Murakami, 1987; Patterson, Reid & Dishon, 1992)
Exclusion and punishment are ineffective at producing long-term reduction in problem behavior (Costenbader & Markson, 1998; Walker et al., 1996)
The Response
“Schools that are safe, effective, and controlled are not accidents.”
(Sugai, Sprague, Horner & Walker, 2000)
• Need • a prevention focus• to build school capacity to support all
students• a continuum of behavior support
PBIS
• PBIS is a broad range of systemic & individualized strategies for achieving important social & learning outcomes while preventing problem behavior
• PBIS is the integration of (a) valued outcomes, (b) science of human behavior,(c) validated procedures, and (d) systems change

Designing School-wide Systems for Student Success
Tier I - Universal
• School-wide discipline system for all students, staff, & settings that is effective for 80% of students• Clearly & positively stated expectations• Procedures for teaching expectations• Continuum of procedures for teaching expectations• Continuum of procedures for encouraging expectations • Continuum of procedures for discouraging rule violations• Procedures for monitoring & modifying procedures
Tier II - Secondary
Specialized group administered system for students who display problem behavior & are unresponsive to universal interventions • Functional assessment based intervention decisions• Daily behavioral monitoring• Regular & frequent opportunities for positive reinforcement• Home-school connection• Individualized academic accommodations for academic
success • Planned social skills instruction• Behaviorally based interventions
Tier III - Tertiary
Specialized individually administered system for students who display most challenging problem behavior & are unresponsive to targeted group interventions• Simple request for assistance• Immediate response (24-48 hours• Functional behavioral assessment-based behavior support
planning• Team-based problem solving process • Data-based decision making• Comprehensive service delivery derived from a wraparound
process
Are We Ready for Tier Two?
• For Tier II supports to be most successful, basic components of Tier One should be in place.
* Is PBIS being implemented in Classrooms?
• Time must be dedicated for Tier Two to be implemented.
• Support from staff and admin must be available.
• Professional development must occur.
Is Tier One in Place in the Classrooms?
• Classroom-wide positive expectations taught, encouraged & reinforced and match school-wide expectations
• Teaching classroom routines & cues taught & encouraged
• Ratio of 4-5 positive to 1 negative adult-student interaction
• Do Staff Agree with and Understand Classroom and Office Managed Behaviors
• Active supervision
• Redirections for minor, infrequent behavior errors
• Frequent pre-corrections for chronic errors
• Effective academic instruction & curriculum
Check-inTier I – Universal
• How are you doing with Tier I? • Successes
• Challenges
• Concerns
• Data sources• TIC, ODR, SET, BoQ, …
• For any concerns or challenges, add an item to your action plan
Overview of Individual Student Systems
Purpose
• To describe considerations & procedures for developing & sustaining individual student systems
• This system will expand Tier I supports to Tier II and Tier III systems
Challenges to ISS
• Students
• Problem behaviors are high intensity &/or frequency• Too many students display significant problem
behavior at any one time• Problem behaviors are disrupting learning & teaching
environments• Problem behaviors are difficult to understand• Interventions are ineffective
• Schools
• Not enough minutes in the day to collect information and develop interventions
• Administrative leadership & support is lacking, unavailable, or underdeveloped
• Staff are unable or untrained to implement interventions• Overemphasis on form, policy, or regulation rather than
on process• Lack of continuum of positive behavior support
Considerations
• Behavior must be considered within context in which it is observed
• As intensity of problem behavior increases, so must intensity & complexity of functional behavioral assessment & behavior support planning process
• The longer problem behavior has been occurring, the more resistant it may be to intervention
• Staff need sustained & effective support to respond effectively & efficiently to significant problem behavior
• Efficient team-based approach & process to problem solving must be in place
• Individuals who develop & implement behavior support plans must be behaviorally competent & able to…• conduct fluently FBA-BIP• facilitate efficient development,
implementation, evaluation of BIPs• collect & analyze student performance data • develop academic & social BIPs that are
based on research validated practice.
General Process
1. Establish Behavior Support Team to guide/lead process
2. Secure & establish behavioral competence within school
3. Develop/strengthen three level system of school-wide behavior support:
• Universal Interventions• Secondary Interventions • Individual Interventions
4. Establish data decision system for matching level of intervention to student
• Simple & direct request for assistance process for staff• Data decision rule for requesting assistance based on number of
major behavioral incidents
5. Establish a continuous data-based system to monitor, evaluate, & improve effectiveness & efficiency
• Are students displaying improved behaviors?• Are staff implementing procedures with high fidelity?• What can be modified to improve outcomes?• What can be eliminated to improve efficiency?
Decision-m
aking Tiered Fidelity Inventory (TFI)
• Complete the Tier II section of the TFI.
• Determine 1-2 strengths • Ways you are ready for Tier 2 and
• Determine 1-2 challenges• Readiness steps that need to occur
• Barriers to Tier 2 implementation
• Add items to your action plan
Overview of Secondary Interventions
Purpose
• Provide an overview of Tier II/Secondary Interventions that are group systems for supporting students who are at-risk for significant problem behavior
Guiding Principles
• At-risk students benefit from:• clearly defined expectations• frequent feedback• consistency• positive reinforcement
• Problem behavior and academic success are often linked
• Behavior support begins to develop effective adult-student relationships
Important Themes
• Part of a continuum• link to school-wide PBIS system
• Efficient and effective way to identify students
• Assessment allows you to make a simple sort• match students to interventions
• Intervention matched to presenting problem but not highly individualized
However,
• There is a difference between how to teach and what to teach
• How = Evidence-Based Practices• Social skills, self-management, daily monitoring
• What = Skill identification, Types and range of groups/programs
Consideration
• Not fixed group. Membership can change based on need
• Student’s needs vary across continuum over time and within academic/social area
• Least intrusive but matched to student need• effective and efficient
Critical Features
Intervention is continuously availableRapid access to intervention (less than a
week)Very low effort by teachersPositive system of support
• Students agree to participateImplemented by all staff/faculty in a schoolFlexible intervention based on assessment
• Function-based
Check-in, Check-out Basics
Daily behavioral monitoring• self- and/or adult
Regular, frequent opportunities for positive reinforcement• tangible to social• external to internal• predictable to unpredictable• frequent to infrequent
Home-school connection
Other Strategies & Groups
Behavioral contractsAdult mentor/monitorTargeted social skills
instruction• problem solving• conflict management
Self-management programming
Academic restructuring
• Lunch Buddies
• Friendship Circles
• Homework Club
• Focused Counseling• Anger management• grief and loss• parent divorce• ….
Review of Existing Options(Adapted from Horner & Todd, 2002)
Activity
Review of Existing Options
• List all currently available Tier II programs
• For each program rate them across the different possible features
• Determine if you have (a) overlap in types of programs or (b) gaps in support options
• Check to make sure all programs have (a) easy student identification and (b) clear request for assistance processes
Check In Check Out: A Secondary Intervention
What’s in a Name?
• Behavior Education Program (BEP)
• Kennedy Card Program
• Hello, Update, & Goodbye (HUG program)
• Check and Connect
• HAWK (Helping a Winning Kid)
• Keep positive
• Consider use school mascot for acronym
• Caution with Using Behavior Card or Behavior Plan
What is CICO?
• Small group intervention designed to provide…• Daily organization and behavioral support• Systematic performance feedback• High rates of adult attention• Mechanism for making data-based decisions• Communication link between school and
home
What is CICO?• Research supported practice
• Schools can successfully implement• Decreases problem behavior• Effective for 60-75% of second tier, at-risk
students• Less effective for students who do not find adult
attention reinforcing• Use of Functional Behavior Assessment can
enhance success
(Crone, Horner, & Hawken, 2004, pp. 9-10)
Who is successful on standard CICO?
• Students who like attention
• Students who are in the “yellow zone”
• Students who are displaying mild-moderate levels of problem behavior throughout the day
• Students who may come to school in a “bad mood” due to setting events on the bus or at home
Why Use CICO?
• Provides systematic function-based intervention to reduce problem behavior that may lead to increased academic achievement for students who find adult and/or peer attention reinforcing
(Crone, Horner, & Hawken, 2004, p. 9)
Why does CICO Work?
• Improved structure• Prompts are provided throughout the day for correct behavior.• System for linking student with at least one positive adult.• Student chooses to participate.
• Student is “set up for success”• First contact each morning is positive.• “Blow-out” days are pre-empted.• First contact each class period (or activity period) is positive.
• Increase in contingent feedback• Feedback occurs more often.• Feedback is tied to student behavior.• Inappropriate behavior is less likely to be ignored or rewarded.
Why does CICO Work?• Program can be applied in all school locations
• Classroom, playground, cafeteria (anywhere there is a supervisor)
• Elevated recognition for appropriate behavior• Adult attention delivered each target period• Adult attention (and tangible) delivered at end of day
• Links school and home support• Provide format for positive student/parent contact
• Organized to fade into a self-management system• Increased options for making choices• Increased ability to self-monitor performance/progress

Evidence-Base Summary
1. Typical schools are able to implement the BEP/CICO successfully.
2. Use of the BEP/CICO is related to reduced levels of problem behavior, and, for some students, increased levels of academic engagement
3. The BEP/CICO is likely to be effective with 60-75% of at risk students.
4. Students who do not find adult attention rewarding appear least likely to respond successfully to the BEP/CICO.

Understanding BehaviorBrief Assessment
Purpose
• To provide a process for completing a Brief FBA once a request has been made
• Used to determine if one or more of the Tier II interventions is appropriate for the student or if another level of support is needed
Why Use a FBA?
FBA produces data on how system can:• Prevent or discourage problem behavior• Identify and teach alternative behaviors• Encourage appropriate behaviors
Levels of FBA
Full FBAs:• Record review, full interviews, observations• Specify problem behavior and contingencies within
routines for purpose of individualized intervention design
Simple FBAs:• Brief interview• Specify problem behavior, routines surrounding
problem behavior, and function of behavior for purpose of selecting type of Tier II intervention
Other Useful Information

• When does it happen/set it off?• Maintaining Consequences
• Why does it happen/need?• Setting events
• What makes it worse/set it up?
Understanding Behavior
• If a student repeatedly engages in a (problem) behavior, he/she is most likely doing it for a reason…it’s ”working” for the student
• The behavior is Functional or serves a purpose• E.g., calling on someone to have a question answered• Hitting a student to be sent in the hall• setting an alarm to wake up• Talking out of turn to have a question answered• answering the problem 2+ 2 as 4
• Behavior is a form of communication, unfortunately, some students learn that Problem Behavior is the best way for them to get their needs met
Understanding Behavior
• Recurring (mis)behavior occurs for a reason
• We need to think about this when we decide how to respond to the behavior
• We intervene most effectively with a student by identifying the function (or purpose) of their behavior
“Can’t Do versus Won’t Do”
• Can’t Do or Don’t Know When To Do
- Skill Deficit
- Performance Deficit
- Perception Deficit
• Won’t Do
- Function of Behavior
Can’t Do: Skills Building
• Social Skills Groups• Assertion Skills, Anger Management, Friendship Skills,
Empathy Skills
• Executive Function Skills Groups• Organization Skills, Emotional Control, Time Management
• Academic Skills Groups• Context Reading Skills, Math Skills

Replacement behaviors will only catch on with the student when they work better than the problem behavior in terms of:
Must look like what others in the environment do under similar circumstances -- Must be appropriate for student
Must serve the same function (obtain the same outcome) as the problem behavior - if it doesn’t work the student won’t do it
Must work at least as quickly and easily as the problem behavior - if it works but is harder to perform the student won’t do it.

SWIS Requirements
• Schools wanting to use the CICO feature on SWIS need to comply with readiness checklist:• SWIS facilitator w/ CICO training• Implementing SW-PBIS• In-school process • DPR Form that is SWIS compatible
Up to 10 check-in periodsUp to 5 expectations/goalUp to 3 point rating scale
CICO-SWIS Demo
Recommended Agenda
Identified students with concernsDecision for priority students (maintain, modify)Rotating review of all students (e.g, every 9 wks)Decision for rotation students (maintain, fade)New studentsStudents to receive additional acknowledgementsOther
Possible Decisions
• Student is ready to graduate
• Student is doing fine, however, should stay on the intervention
• Student is having some problems but think simple modifications may work
• Determine what needs to happen and assign responsibility to team member
• Student is having significant problems and should be referred for a Full FBA
• Make referral or plan for this step
Student Doesn’t Match Tier II
Optionsneed referral for more intensive intervention support teacher on implementing classroom
modifications
As a team, you need to decide how this information should be conveyed to the referring persondocumentedmeeting (with team, coordinator, administrator)
Decision: Graduate
80% or better for at least 4 weeks, on a daily basisConsult with teacher(s), teamMeet with student to introduce the process
• Show data• Explain how to use rating card/how to judge own
behavior• CELEBRATE!
Talk with parent about graduation, how they can continue to support their child
Shift to self-managementTeacher ratings = Student ratingsRewards for honesty and accuracy
Fade data collectione.g., number of teacher check-ins, morning check-in,
afternoon check-out
Celebrate continued success• Some schools hold a monthly celebration for students who
are maintaining success after Graduating from CICO (Monthly “Alumni Club” Lunch)
Wesley, 2010
Let’s look at Fading Phases
Decision: Continue
• Student is making and maintaining progress but needs to stay on the intervention (4 to 6 weeks) to ensure continued success
• This decision will be based mostly on your clinical judgment
• Or the student or parent asks to continue the program
Matching to Student Needs
Basic SI: goals related to cooperative, respectful behavior; reinforced through daily positive adult contact (attention-related)
SI+ Academic Support: goals, prompts, and encouragement for organizational and routine-following behaviors or increase in academic support
Escape SI: goals related to cooperative, respectful behavior: students reinforced through chance to earn a break from aversive activity or aversive social contact
Decision: Modify
More frequent reinforcement/Check-ins
More powerful reinforcement for daily goal either at school or home
Other minor modifications based on function
Conduct Brief Functional Assessment
Is the behavior maintained by escape
from social interaction?
Is the behavior related to lack of academic skills?
Is the behavior severe, complex, intensive?
Escape Motivated SI
•Reduce adult interaction
•Use escape as a reinforcer
SI + Academic Support
•Increase Academic support
Intensive,Individualized Behavior
Support
(e.g., Full FBA-BSP)
Troubleshooting
Purpose
• To give guidance to potential barriers of CICO/BEP based on obstacles other schools have encountered
Obstacles to Implementation
• Administrator not on the team that develops the plan and looks at data for decision making
• Plan used as punishment rather than prevention program
• Plan coordinator lacks skills to implement the program (e.g., behavior intervention, computer)
• Schools expecting plan to solve all behavior problems
• Fitting plan and data evaluation into existing teams
Troubleshooting: Not Checking In (Infrequent)
• Deliver DPR to student• Find out if he/she wants to participate in
program• May need to increase motivation with reinforcers
(selection, contracting)
• If student refuses to participate, probably need Full FBA (Tier III)
Troubleshooting: Not Checking Out (Infrequent)
• When student does not checkout nor bring card back next day, give 0 points for the day
• Coordinator asks what happened and reminds student to checkout
• Teachers can prompt student to checkout
Troubleshooting: Not Checking In or Out (Chronic)
• Make sure they understand routine • Make sure teachers are cooperating• Get teacher/friends to remind • Escort student at beginning to learn routine• Provide reinforcements/points for showing up• Make sure intervention has a positive profile in
school & coordinator is well-liked
Troubleshooting: Lost DPR Form
• Give a new DPR right away• If chronic, find out how school can
improve program• Check for home response to poor
DPRs
Troubleshooting: Staff Fidelity Issues
• Preventative: provide in-service prior to implementation
• Some teacher may need additional training on BEP/CICO
• Provide space on DPR for positive statements• Provide staff feedback (at least quarterly) on
effect of BEP/CICO on students
Troubleshooting:Parent/Guardian Fidelity Issues
• Parent should give permission for student to participate
• Students can still participate if parents do not follow through
• May need to use surrogate parent to provide feedback
• Have counselor or principal address punishment issue with parent
