SST16 PBIS Newsletter

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 Fact Sheet

The systems, practices, and data you use to build and evaluate your PBIS implementation are like headers in an outline. The items on the TFI give you your subheads. From there, it’s up to you to fill in the details. Your systems reflect your school’s culture and support the adults in the building to do their best work. Your practices build on your students’ strengths and values to help them find success at school. Your data improves your decision-making and holds you accountable for making your implementation work for everyone.

PBIS teams can use this tool to score Tier 1 and 2 of the Facility-Wide Tiered Fidelity Inventory (v0.2). The template will automatically calculate scores and produce graphs of scores across time, by feature, and by subscale. This provides easy-to-use visual reports and simplifies tracking subscale scores across time.

Please share this with School Athletic Coaches You Know!

As you might recall from the July issue of the MHFA Monthly Newsletter, the Ohio General Assembly passed a bill in late July that mandates mental health training to equip school athletic coaches to support their student-athletes mental well-being and prevent mental health crises. We are thrilled to announce that Youth Mental Health First Aid is one of two classes approved by the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services that fulfill this requirement.

One of the coaches who took YMHFA and advocated for this law is Matt Triplet from St. Francis DeSales High School in Columbus. He said in a recent interview on public radio that YMHFA changed his coaching style for the better and that it was "an absolutely amazing class."

If you are a coach and are interested in taking YMHFA and seeing the benefits for yourself, we invite you to register today to join our free virtual class on November 10th from 9:00 – 3:00 p.m., exclusively for coaches. You will receive a three-year certification from the National Council for Mental Wellbeing and an online YMHFA manual.

Please register by October 27th

We know this is a bigger time commitment, but it will be worth it. You will gain skills and knowledge that will help you not only with your student-athletes, but also with your colleagues, friends, and family. And your own mental health will improve too!

For more information, please email Kathleen Oberlin, Youth MHFA Coordinator, at oberlink2@gmail.com

September: Session 1 (slide deck)

First Meet-Up: How to get the School Year Started with PBIS and Using Data to Drive Decisions (Guest speaker: Christine Woodeard)

The Student Recovery Dashboards are tools designed to better understand the impact of the pandemic on Ohio’s students and progress towards academic recovery. The District Student Recovery Dashboards allow for a statewide view of public school students, as well as the ability to sort by public district. The School Student Recovery Dashboard allows for a building-level look at recovery data for public schools in Ohio, including community schools.

The introductory page of the dashboard captures key indicators such as enrollment, graduation, K-3 on track diagnostic trends, chronic absenteeism and proficiency scores. The tiles to the left allow users to take a deeper look at other contextual information, including ESSER spending rate, KRA data and early literacy.

Leading the nation in Equity-based Multi-Tiered System of Support education research and services

At SWIFT, we believe educational equity is an intentional paradigm shift through which historically disenfranchised students and their communities build and retain systemic power within education.

We believe the process of advancing equity includes the pursuit of a pluralistic culture of teaching and learning, through which the collective health, healing, safety, and connectedness of students, faculty, and communities is made manifest.

Equity lives within educational spaces that include intersectional affirmation, sociohistorical transparency, contextualized resource allocation, and above all, love.

Culturally Responsive

CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE SCHOOLWIDE PBIS TEAM SELF-ASSESSMENT VERSION 3.0

Purpose: Teams that regularly self-assess are more likely to ensure that School-Wide Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports (SWPBIS) practices and systems have equal impact for all students. Therefore, it is recommended that teams complete the Culturally Responsive SWPBIS Team Self-Assessment tool (CR-SWPBIS) annually. Culturally responsive SWPBIS recognizes the importance of culture by incorporating cultural elements (e.g., perspectives, language and norms) from diverse stakeholders including parents, children, and community members are incorporated into the review of data, and implementation of systems, and practices.

What is the Purpose of the PBIS Implementation Blueprint? The PBIS Implementation Blueprint provides guidance to state, district, and school level implementers on how to use the evidence-based PBIS framework to support positive school climate and improve student outcomes using a team-based approach through a problem-solving process which focuses on data-based decision making, identifying evidence-based practices, and building systemic staff supports to ensure implementation integrity.

This Blueprint (a) describes the rationale, essential elements, and key functions of the leadership team and (b) shares resources to assist in building a sustainable PBIS framework that is both culturally and contextually relevant across contexts (i.e., organizational levels [state, district, agency, school], locales [urban, suburban, rural], geographic regions or territories, and communities) and delivered with a high level of implementation fidelity (i.e., implemented as intended) to achieve desired outcomes of partners.1 The PBIS Implementation Blueprint aligns with the PBIS Evaluation Blueprint and the PBIS Professional Development Blueprint.

The Ohio Leadership Advisory Council (OLAC) and PBIS Showcase is a one-day professional learning event designed to share powerful examples about how district, building, and teacher-based teams are working together to impact all learners AND showcase Ohio’s schools implementing positive behavioral interventions and supports (PBIS) with high fidelity.

Through this event, our goal is to help build the capacity of those who lead, teach, and serve students in Ohio’s schools and beyond. For the past two years, thousands of Ohio superintendents, principals, teachers, counselors, and others have participated in this FREE professional learning event.

This two-day forum is a technical assistance activity of the Center on PBIS and provides an opportunity for the Center to share information on the latest applications of PBIS. It has been designed to support state, regional, and local educational leaders, together with community and family partners, to increase the effectiveness of school environments through the evidence based PBIS framework.

PBIS Connections to State Initiatives

Governor Kasich signed House Bill 318 in August 2018, with an effective date of Nov. 2, 2018, to address multi-tiered behavioral supports to reduce out-of-school suspension and expulsions, especially for prekindergarten through grade 3 students.
