What is School-wide Positive Behavior Support?
School-wide PBS is: A systems approach for establishing the social culture and
behavioral supports needed for a school to be an effective learning environment for all students.
Evidence-based features of SW-PBS Prevention Define and teach positive social expectations Acknowledge positive behavior Arrange consistent consequences for problem behavior On-going collection and use of data for decision-making Continuum of intensive, individual intervention supports. Implementation of the systems that support effective practices

Technical Assistance Approach 2 Year model of TA, with emphasis on local
capacity building (coaching, training) “Readiness” criteria (school, district, state) Curriculum (process): pbismanual.uoecs.org
(manual) Process measures
Research Quality (SET); Self-Assessment (TIC) Outcome measures
Office discipline referrals (ODR) Literacy and academic scores (DIBELS, State Tests)

Lessons Learned in Providing Technical Assistance Practices Systems Implementation Process Sustainability

Defining a “Practice” A “practice” is a procedure, or set of procedures,
designed for use in a specific context, by individuals with certain skills/features, to produce specific outcomes for specific individuals.
Operationally defined procedures Target population/ Context Implementer Characteristics Defined outcomes

Are these “practices?” Whole Language Reading Instruction Positive reinforcement Inclusion IDEA Discrete trial training Generalization Positive behavior support Functional analysis Applied behavior analysis

Disseminating Evidence-based Practices Evidence-based is not enough
In addition to the features of the practice: define what outcomes, when/where used, by whom, with what target populations, at what fidelity?
The innovative practice needs to not only be evidence-based, but dramatically easier and better than what is already being used.
The practice should be defined conceptually as well as procedurally, to allow guidance for adaptation.

Systems Implementing practices without sustaining
systems is ineffective and inefficient. What are “readiness” criteria needed for
successful implementation? What are policies, personnel requirements,
timelines, funding, data systems needed?
Importance of focusing on systems at the beginning of TA process.

Implementation Process
Never stop doing what already works.
Implement the smallest change that produces the largest effect (in multiple iterations).
Never introduce something new without indicating what you will stop doing to free up the time/resources for the new innovation
Design implementation to encourage local adaptation Formalize the assessment and development of “contextual fit”
![Page 12: Evidence-based Practices: A Technical Assistance Perspective](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082819/568139c5550346895da16f77/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Implementation Process Build implementation processes at multiple
levels School, district, and state level… Depth of implementation (primary, secondary,
tertiary) Adjust implementation process as scale of
implementation increases.

Implementation Process Use “process” measures AND “outcome”
measures. Make the measures both of research-quality…
AND have self-assessment measures that are easy/inexpensive.
Provide direct support at the site of student involvement
Coaches at school

Sustainability TA should start with emphasis on
sustainability Don’t invest in TA of practices/systems that will last
less than 10 years.
Continuous regeneration Implement Evaluate Adapt
