SST16 PBIS Newsletter
If a student doesn't know how to behave: WE TEACH IT!
SST16 PBIS Consultant: Missy Baker
I am here to support 24 Southeastern Ohio School Districts. PBIS (Positive Behavior Intervention and Support) is an implementation framework for maximizing the selection and use of evidence-based prevention and intervention practices along a multi-tiered continuum that support the academic, social and emotional competence of all students.

PBIS Award Recognition Intent to Apply and Application for 23-24
It is that time of year in which the PBIS Award Recognition Intent to Apply and Application process begins for the 2023-24 school year. I have attached the below documents that will assist in the process.
If you plan to APPLY, the"Intent to Apply" form is due February 12th. Please select REGION 16 for the correct intent to apply form (see below). This form only takes a few minutes to complete. Please read the application to determine if your building can apply for the bronze, silver, and/or gold recognition. Region 16 had 6 buildings that were awarded the Bronze Award for the 22-23 school year.
The next step will be that the SST16 consultant will send all necessary resources/folders to those buildings that complete the intent to apply form by February 20th. I would begin collecting evidence that supports the rubric items in the application. Once you receive your folders this is where all evidence will be placed.
I will be holding "PBIS Award Application" help sessions each month before the application deadline of May 1. Please attend for assistance and clarification regarding the application process.
Feb. 29th: 8:00-900
March 20: 800-9:00
April 11: 8:00-9:00
Missy will also be available to provide coaching to individual PBIS leads or teams to assist in the application process.

Instructions for completing the PDF fillable form
Please feel free to reach out if you have any immediate questions.
I am excited for school buildings in Region 16 to apply for the PBIS Recognition Award for 2023-24. I believe that the application process assists PBIS leadership teams reach fidelity. Sometimes buildings think they are doing PBIS with fidelity and then they realize they are not as they complete the application process.

Calculating Chronic Absence Using These Tools
DATT and SATT Real Time Data Dashboards
Many schools, districts and communities are interested in analyzing their attendance data to see if missing school is a significant problem. To simplify the process, Attendance Works offers free self-calculating spreadsheets for school districts called the District Attendance Tracking Tools (DATTs). These tools are especially effective for smaller districts with more limited data capacity. The companion tools are the School Attendance Tracking Tools (SATTs) which provide school-level analysis down to the individual student level.
Organized into four separate modules for grades PreK-5 (Elementary), K-5 (Elementary), 6-8 (Middle) and 9-12 (High), the DATTs and SATTs are designed for small to mid-sized school districts and can accommodate up to 65,000 students.
In addition, we offer a supplemental tool which combines the reports from each module into one PreK-12 / K-12 set of reports on chronic absence for your district.

Using data to drive PBIS action steps
It is crucial to bring data to ALL PBIS team meetings. When teams can drill down and determine reasons for discipline, location, time of the day, and much more, schools can make REAL changes to lower behavior incidences. Many possible data sources drive decision-making. Be sure to look at both the big DATA picture and then drill down for more specific information.
Has your building or district DISAGREGATED behavior data? Does the data show that discipline actions are equitable for ALL students?
Please feel free to contact me (melissa.baker@sst16.org) if you want me to assist your PBIS teams in pulling reports and disaggregating data.
See example below
STAY THE COURSE: SUPPORT ATTENDANCE, ENGAGEMENT AND LEARNING IN THE WINTER MONTHS
Schools and districts can take steps to ensure students and families can get to school safely and on time even when the weather is challenging. Consider the tips in Support Attendance, Engagement and Learning in the Winter Months.
Ohio Law for PBIS Professional Development
Ohio Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) Professional Development Requirements
Ohio law and rule require districts to implement a positive behavior intervention and support framework on a system-wide basis. To implement a schoolwide framework effectively it is essential to provide professional development to student personnel.
Ohio districts will provide professional development on PBIS to student personnel at least every three years. Professional development can be provided by a building or district PBIS Leadership Team or an appropriate state, regional, or national source in collaboration with the building or district positive behavior intervention and support leadership team. The professional development must include the following topics:
• An overview of positive behavior intervention and support;
• The process for teaching behavioral expectations;
• Data collection;
• Implementation of positive behavior intervention and support with fidelity;
• Consistent systems of feedback to students for acknowledgment of appropriate behavior and corrections for behavior errors; and
• Consistency in discipline and discipline referrals.
Please use this link to read the specifics of the PBIS professional development requirements.
