  1. The Importance of Coaching in Implementation of Evidence-based Practices Rob Horner University of Oregon www.pbis.org

  2. Goals • Current assumptions/research about coaching • Define our experience with coaching in PBS implementation • Implications for building district capacity

  3. Coaching Defined • Coaching is the active and iterative delivery of: • (a) prompts that increase successful behavior, and • (b) corrections that decrease unsuccessful behavior. • Coaching is done by someone with credibility and experience with the target skill(s) • Coaching is done on-site, in real time • Coaching is done after initial training • Coaching is done repeatedly (e.g. monthly) • Coaching intensity is adjusted to need

  4. Outcomes of Coaching • Fluency with trained skills • Adaptation of trained concepts/skills to local contexts and challenges • And new challenges that arise • Rapid redirection from miss-applications • Increased fidelity of overall implementation • Improved sustainability • Most often due to ability to increase coaching intensity at critical points in time.

  6. Coaching within SWPBS Implementation • Context: • 9000 schools implementing SWPBS nationally • Defining the Role • Internal vs External • Selecting Coaches • Training and support for coaches • Assessing Impact

  7. Visibility Political Support Funding Leadership Team Active Coordination Training Coaching Behavioral Expertise Evaluation Local Demonstration Schools

  8. Coaching vs. Training • Coaching involves active collaboration and participation, but not group instruction. • Small group • Build from local competence • Sustainable

  9. Who should be a coach? • Internal vs External • Internal coaches are employed in the school where they provide support • External coaches are employed outside the schools where they provide support (e.g. by district, region, state).

  10. Who should be a coach?

  11. Who should be a coach

  12. What Coaches Do • Work with team during initial SW-PBS training • Meet with new teams monthly on-site • Telephone/email contact as needed • “Positive” nag • Self-assessment (EBS Survey, Team Checklist) • Action planning • Activity implementation • On-going evaluation • School self-evaluation efforts • State-wide Initiative evaluation efforts (SET) • Guide State-wide initiative • Feedback to Taskforce

  13. What Coaches Do • Dissemination of outcomes and effects • SWIS Facilitation • Implement and support use of data-based decision making.

  14. Commitment of Coaches • Team Support • First Year (1-2 teams) (participate in training and planning) • Second Year (Maintain initial teams, start 3-5 teams) • Future Years (10-15 teams total) • FTE commitment • 20-50% • Roles/Background • Behavior Specialists, Special Education Teachers • Consultants, Administrators • School Psychologists, Counselors, Social Workers

  15. Guiding Principles for Effective Coaching • Build local capacity • Become unnecessary…but remain available • Maximize current competence • Never change things that are working • Always make the smallest change that will have the biggest impact • Focus on valued outcomes • Tie all efforts to the benefits for children • Emphasize Accountability • Measure and report; measure and report; measure and report. • Build credibility through: • (a) consistency, (b) competence with behavioral principles/practices, (c) relationships, (d) time investment. • Precorrect for success

  16. Specific Expectations • Attend and participate in team training • Meet with your team(s) at least monthly • Provide technical assistance as needed • Monitor and report on team efforts • Team Checklist • EBS Survey/ SET/ ISSET • Annual Profile/Summary Data • Present on School-wide PBS at district, state, national forums. • Assist district to build capacity for sustained implementation (re-define your role over time) • Meetings with Coordinator and Taskforce for purposes of state-wide planning

  17. Assist Teams in Using Data for Decision-making • Using Team-Checklist and EBS Survey data for Team Action Planning • Using SET/ TIC data for evaluation • Using ODR/ Academic (ORF) data for assessment, planning and reporting. • Keeping faculty involved through regular data reporting.

  30. North CarolinaPositive Behavior Support Initiative Levels of behavior risk in schools implementing PBS were comparable to widely-accepted expectations and better than those in comparison schools not systematically implementing PBS.
