Implementation Dips

Common Implementation Dips

Implementation too loosely defined

Implementation not managed well

Results are poor or are not known

The implementation has lost momentum after some period of initial enthusiasm.

Implementation too loosely defined

Strategies:

Define and design all efforts within a multi-tiered framework Organize your system using this logic

Use the same prevention and intervention procedures for both behavior and academic

Create consistent “decision rules” for problem solving and solution finding

Define PBIS within your cultural context and in a way that everyone can understand.

Implementation not managed well

Strategies:

Administrator and leadership are key!!!

Create an environment where people feel safe

Use data tools and provide data information to others regularly

Use Team meeting process (TIPS!!!)

Results are poor or are not known

Strategies:

Create effective and efficient data systems and reporting mechanisms!

Understand your data so you can use it for change and explain it to others

Share your data with others!

Market it!!!

The implementation has lost momentum

Strategies:

Use data - To survey staff perceptions (SAS) To reward staff and student performance To celebrate success! To narrow scope of focus (hallways, cafeteria)

Take a break between “roll-outs”

Acknowledge incremental successes along the way
