• Analyze and disaggregate discipline related data
• Evaluate progress
• Problem-solve areas as identified by data review
• New activities are implemented according to information and trends seen in the discipline data and from feedback from staff
• Accuracy and effectiveness of PBIS process is monitored
Team Meetings
What from the BOQ still needs improvement or needs to be put in place?
What was successful last month and what do you want to continue to do?
What does your ODR data suggest as ways to pre-correct problems for the next month?
What information can you use from the surveys to be more inclusive of other’s ideas and improve?
What are your next steps?
