Use of Data
• Continuous review of information and data– Office discipline referrals– Attendance– Tardiness– Academics– Assignment completion– Bus behavior– Student/staff surveys
Use of Data
• Ask specific questions of the data– What– Where– When– Who– Why– How often
all to guide school-wide decision making.
Main Data Components
• Effective Behavior Support Survey (EBS)
• Office Disciplinary Referral Report– School-wide Information System (SWIS)
• School-wide Evaluation Tool (SET)
• School surveys
Effective Behavior Support
• Survey examines– School-wide discipline system
– Non-classroom management systems
– Classroom management systems
– Systems for individual students engaging in chronic behaviors
Effective Behavior Support
• The EBS Survey is designed to help schools gather staff perceptions about behavior support systems and practices in their building. This survey is used during the initial stages of planning and annually thereafter.
School-wide Information System
• The School-Wide Information System (SWIS) is a web-based information system designed to help school personnel to use office referral data to design school-wide and individual student interventions.
School-wide Information System
The three primary elements of SWIS are:
• an efficient system for gathering information
• a web-based computer application for data entry and report generation
• a practical process for using information for decision making
School-wide Information System
• The three elements give school personnel the capability to evaluate individual student behavior, the behavior of groups of students, behaviors occurring in specific settings, and behaviors occurring during specific time periods of the school day.
School-Wide Information System
• SWIS reports indicate times and/or locations prone to elicit problem behaviors, and allow teachers and administrators to shape school-wide environments to maximize students' academic and social achievements.
School-wide Information System
• The “Big 5”– # referrals per day per month– # referrals by student– # referrals by location– # and kinds of problem behaviors– # problem behaviors by time of day
