OBJECTIVES
• Describe the features of the RENEW Model
• Describe how the RENEW model fits into a 3-tiered PBIS framework
• Case Examples of implementation in Illinois high
• Discussion

Transition Outcomes: Youth with Emotional and Behavioral Disabilities:
• 40%-60% dropout of high school (Wagner, 1991; Wehman, 1996; Wagner, Kutash, Duchnowski, & Epstein, 2005)
• Experience poorer academic performance than students with LD (Lane, Carter, Pierson & Glaeser, 2006)
• 10%-25% enroll in post-secondary education (compared to 53% of typical population) (Bullis & Cheney, 1999)
• High rates of unemployment/underemployment post-school (Bullis& Cheney, 1999; Kortering, Hess & Braziel, 1996; Wagner, 1991; Wehman, 1996)
• High rates of MH utilization, poverty, incarceration (Alexander, et al., 1997; Kortering, et. al., 1998; Lee and Burkham, 1992; Wagner, 1992)

Youth with Emotional and Behavioral
Disorders….
• Disengaged from school/family/community• Most likely disability group to be in a
segregated academic setting• Highest rates of disciplinary infractions• Perceived by teachers as having significantly
lower levels of social competence and school adjustment
(Lane, Carter, Pierson, & Glaeser, 2006)
5
What is needed..
Wagner & Davis (2006) recommend that programs for youth with EBD emphasize:
• Relationships• Rigor• Relevance• Address the needs of the whole child• Involve students and families in transition
planning

Rehabilitation, Empowerment, Natural supports, Education and Work {RENEW}
• Developed in 1996 as the model for a 3-year employment model demonstration project for youth with “SED” (funded by the Rehabilitation Services Administration of the US DOE)
• Focused on community-based, self-determined services and supports
• Delivered by a community-based organization, schools staff, grant-funded projects, community mental health center staff, is now part of a 3-tiered school model

RENEW IS….• A flexible, person-centered planning and support service
• Driven by the student’s expressed needs, interests, and goals
• Designed to foster competence by creating supported educational and career-related experiences in which the youth can be successful
• Designed to be flexible and individualized
• Designed to build social resources for the youth
RENEW IS NOT….• A program
• A course, a classroom, or a school

RENEW Studies
• Initial promising results (Bullis & Cheney; Eber, Nelson & Miles, 1997; Cheney, Malloy & Hagner, 1998)
• Subsequent studies: – Malloy, Cheney, Cormier, 1998 – Youth Re-entry Project: Hagner, Malloy, Mazzone, &
Cormier, 2008.– Malloy, Sundar, Hagner, Pierias, & Viet, 2010– Book Chapter: Malloy, Drake, Abate, & Cormier, 2010.

RENEW Applications• As part of a stand-alone grant funded service
(provided by university staff)• As a service of a community-based agency
(fee-for-service, VR, school-funded)• As part of a 3-tiered PBIS model in high
schools (“APEX” model)• As a service provided by community mental
health centers in NH (“RENEW Capacity building projects”
14
APEX PBIS High School Projects in NH• First APEX Project funded by US DOE as a Dropout
Prevention project using PBIS and RENEW – 2 high schools- 2002-2006
• APEX II funded by US DOE as a Dropout Prevention project- using PBIS and RENEW 10 high schools- 2006-2009
• APEX III funded by NH DOE, Bureau of Special Education Services- 6 high school demonstration sites to build a problem-solving capacity at Tiers 2 and 3.
• NH RESPONDS- funded by the Office of Special education Services at the UD DOE to implement RtI- 2 high schools

RENEW Systems Features for School Implementation
• Readiness: Is the school supportive of providing evidence-based transition practices for all youth?
• The school will develop a tertiary level planning team to ID and screen students and monitor tertiary level implementation
• The school has a system for providing positive behavior support to students
Readiness (cont.)
• The school embraces a commitment to provide and respond to student-led plans, including student-led IEPS
• The school is committed to supporting staff to be trained in and provide RENEW services.
• The school has strong collaborative relationships with families and local agencies.
• The school is committed to providing work and career-based learning options for all students, including the students at highest risk.
Using Implementation Research*
• Carefully select the school for implementation and staff to be trained
• Carefully craft the training• Adequate resources for coaching• Strong system to evaluate staff implementation• Strong data system for decision support (are the right
youth getting the right services at the right time?)• Administrative support• Systems support (community involvement)
*(Fixsen & Blasé, 2009)
Personal Futures Planning • History-Where I have
been.• Who I am now, strengths,
weaknesses.• The people in my life• My goals and dreams
• My fears, what could get in my way
• Short-term goals (3-6 months)
• Next Steps: Who does what
• Schedule follow up

• 2-day training 60 school teachers, administrators, specialists, social workers in April 2011
• By September 2011, 18 MAPS and plans had been completed
