An Overview of the Ohio Integrated Systems Model (OISM)for Academic and Behavior Supports
A Statewide Model to Close the Achievement Gap for Students with Disabilities and Other At-Risk Learners
Workshop Goals
• Define OISM
• Provide a rationale for OISM
• Introduce OISM
• Demonstrate OISM in action
• Critique OISM

Sets the Occasion for
Student Failure
Ineffective Instruction

The Challenge
Punishing problem behaviors (without a proactive
support system) is associated with increases in (a)
aggression, (b) vandalism, (c) truancy, and (d)
dropping out.

Three-Tiers of Support
• Purpose• Characteristics
10
Purpose:
1. Maximize learning for all students
2. Strong core curriculum; 80-90% of students are meeting performance indicators
3. Minimize need for interventions (number & intensity)
4. Use school-wide data to evaluate and improve the instruction for all students in reading/behavior
Characteristics:1. Explicit, focused, high-
quality general education instruction in academic and social competencies
2. Based on concepts of universal design for learning
3. Core curriculum needs of current student population
4. All students receive instruction in core curriculum
School-Wide
11
Purpose:
1. ID students at risk for not reaching standards
2. Provide sufficient and appropriate instruction so that performance rapidly reaches/exceeds standards, preventing school failure.
3. Use school-wide data to determine • students in need of
additional instructional in reading or behavior &
• research-based intervention strategies to be used
Targeted
Characteristics (Instruction):
1. Timely, focused, and explicit instruction
2. Monitor progress frequently
3. Flexible student grouping
4. Identify students “at-risk” for academic AND behavior problems
5. Scientifically-supported supplemental programs
6. Culturally responsive content
12
Purpose:• To provide sustained
support for children
• Not progressing with targeted supports OR
• Whose initial assessment data indicate need for support at all 3 tiers
• Use school-wide and functional behavior/reading assessment data to plan supports so student progresses in general curriculum.
Intensive
Characteristics (Curriculum):
•Research-based, Ongoing supportsLiteracy : Increase direct instruction with substantial opportunities to practiceBehavior: Increased explicit instruction in social skills with opportunities to practice in varied setting
•Instruction designed by skilled & trained intervention team •Small group (1:3)•Once a week on target skill•Regular progress reviews

•Over 50% of U.S. crime is committed by 5-7% of children between ages of 10-20
•Over 82% of crime is committed by people who have not completed school
•70% of youth viewed as antisocial in school are arrested within 3 years of leaving school
•Problem behavior is the single most common reason why students with disabilities are removed from regular schools, work, and house settings

Student Problem Behavior: Social Cost
23
Student Problem Behavior: Economic Cost
•The average cost of the most highly restrictive placements for SWD is $150,000
•Federal & state governments add 1,500 prison beds every week costing $30 billion/ year
•It is projected that soon more Americans will be in prison than will attend the nation’s 4-year colleges

Six Key Features of OISM
1. Administrative Leadership
2. Collaborative Strategic Planning
3. Scientifically-based Research
4. Data-based Decision Making
5. Culturally Responsive Practices
6. Academic & Behavior Supports across 3-tiers

CASE STUDYMiranda
GROUP ACTIVITY
32
Case Study: Miranda
Miranda is a nine-year old, Latina third-grade studentenrolled at an urban elementary school. Miranda hasdemonstrated a variety of academic and behavioral problems since kindergarten when her parents were divorced. Since that time Miranda has been sent to the principal’s office on 11 occasions for disrupting class, hitting other students, and refusing to participate in classroom activities. Although Miranda’s progress was satisfactory in kindergarten, it has declined substantially in all subject areas in the past two years.

Critical Evaluation
• Identify perceptions of strengths and limitations of the Ohio Integrated Systems Model as it applies to the unique circumstances of your school.
• Identify implications for professional practice.
34
Summary Statement
Improved academic achievement and increased positive behavior are required outcomes for comprehensive school improvement. Research shows that effective behavioral systems melded with effective instruction are likely to result in improved academic gains (Horner & Sugai, 2000). The Ohio Integrated Systems Model (OISM) is a means to achieve this goal.

2. Collaborative Strategic Planning continued…
Questions:
• How strong are our PREVENTION efforts?
• Is our response based upon INTERVENTION rather than remediation?
• Is our response SYSTEMATIC?
• Is our response TIMELY?
• Is our response DIRECTIVE?
40
3. Scientifically-based Research
• Expected academic skills are directly taught & reinforced within systematic instruction provided to all students.
• Core curriculum is examined for the extent to which essential evidenced- based skills are being taught with a priority on examining Reading and the big ideas of literacy instruction described in the National Reading Panel Report.
• School-wide data are examined to determine the extent to which the school’s/district’s core curriculum enables most students to reach standards and academic skill benchmarks.
4. Data-based Decision Making
• Systematic use of evidence to support decision making
• Frequent, reliable, valid indicators of student performance in essential academic skills & behavior guide curriculum & school-wide behavior support plan
• Universal Screening
Academics
• Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS) - http://dibels.uoregon.edu
• Curriculum-Based Measurement (CBM)

Specific educational practices, teaming processes, instructional strategies, and curricula content which have been established by research to increase the achievement of historically underachieving culturally diverse students

6. Academic and Behavior Supports Across Three-Tiers
• Intensity of interventions increases with the complexity and intensity of academic or behavior problems
• 80-90% = School-wide• 5-10% = Targeted• 1-5 % = Intensive
