Data System Definitions Effective Procedures for Dealing with Discipline Referral Process Referral Form
What is an Office Discipline Referral (ODR)? • What it IS: • Kid - Staff Member - Administrator interaction • Underestimation of actual behavior • Piece of information used to make decisions • Data point
What is an Office Discipline Referral (ODR)? • What it IS NOT: • Punishment • A reflection on teacher’s skills • A way to change or re-teach behavior • A first attempt at correcting behavior
Why use ODRs in a PBIS school? Simply too cumbersome to collect all positive recognitions if given in the 5:1 ratio!
Characteristics of an Effective Referral FormThe following categories must be included on the form: • Student’s Name • Date • Time of Incident • Student’s Grade Level • Referring Staff • Location of Incident • Problem Behavior • Possible Motivation • Others Involved • Administrative Decision • Other Comments
Office Discipline Referral (ODR) Forms • In formatting the referral form, you must make sure to answer the following questions: Who Why What When Where • Clarity on the referral form takes the guess work out of the data entry person’s job • Data will be more reliable and accurate as judgment calls are minimized
Data System Definitions Effective Procedures for Dealing with Discipline Referral Process Referral Form
Reasons to Collect and Use Data • Essential for good decision-making • Professional accountability • Decisions made with accurate dataare more likely to be: (a) implemented (b) effective
Improving Decision Making with Problem Solving Step 1—Define the problem What is the problem? Step 4—Evaluate Is it working? Step 2—Problem Analysis Why is it occurring? Step 3—Plan Implementation What are we going to do about it? CO MTSS Problem Solving Process
Two Primary Forms of Data: • Fidelity of Implementation • Benchmarks of Quality (BoQ) • School-wide Evaluation Tool (SET) • Self-Assessment Survey • Team Implementation Checklist • Progress Monitoring • Office Discipline Referrals (ODR) • Suspension/Expulsion • Attendance • Staff/Parent/Student surveys Systems: Are we doing what we said we’d do? Outcomes: Is what we’re doing making a difference and benefiting students?
Progress Monitoring for Behavior • Identify and use meaningful and efficient data sources • Determine trends and patterns • Implement interventions to identified need • Evaluate effectiveness of interventions • On-going
Considerations to Support Data-based Decision-making • Determine efficient collection procedures • Gathered continuously • Embedded as part of school cycle, not something “extra” • Easily accessible • Readable displays • Regular review • The people who collect and summarize the data see it is being used
Systems for Analyzing Data Utilize an established protocol for analyzing data: • Have clear decision rules for determining needs across all three Tiers • Review monthly with administrators and PBIS team • Share with staff at least quarterly (monthly is best)
What Data to Collect? Use what you have… • Office discipline referrals/detentions • Suspensions/expulsions • Referrals by student behavior, staff behavior, and administrative context • Office referrals per day per month • Climate surveys • Attendance • Referrals to team responsible for problem solving around students needing more targeted and intensive support • Referrals to special education programs
When to Enter Data • Daily recommended, but at least weekly (at a minimum) • With a school-wide data collection system, schools are better prepared to respond proactively to situations • Schools can begin to identify problems and generate solutions • Monitor and evaluate success of interventions
When to Analyze Data • Weekly or monthly (minimum) • Allows the team to see if specific interventions are working • Some data on particular students are reviewed more frequently for counseling and family partnering • Reviewing specific behavior incidents more frequently provides further clues regarding effective interventions
How to Analyze Data • How many referrals are there: • per day each month? • based on location? • based on the type of behavior? • by student? • by time of day? • by student motivation? • by ethnicity? • What is the range of consequences provided based on the type of behavior exhibited? “The Big 5”
Questions to Guide Data Analysis Every time the PBIS team reviews the “BIG 5” graphs, ask these questions… What is going well? Do we have a problem? If so, what is it? Where? When? How often? Who? What other information do we need? What are our best guesses about what is happening? What is our plan or intervention? When and how will we evaluate the effectiveness?
Meaningful Data Can your current data system calculate the following……
A Brief Note about SWIS… • SWIS – School-wide Information System • Tracks discipline referrals for instructional decision making • Provides information for school-wide planning • Provides information for targeted group and/or individual student needs • www.swis.org
Using Data within Multi-tiered System of Supports SWIS Facilitator Training 2012
How does my school get SWIS? • Identify one SWIS facilitator per district • SWIS facilitator training in Denver (Nov.) • Talk to your regional TAC • Complete SWIS Readiness Checklist • Cost = $250 per school per year
SWISHarassment/Bullying • Data collection to specify Harassment/ Bullying type • Supports data-based decision making and intervention planning around Harassment/ Bullying • School-wide • Individual Students • Example categories: • Racial • Sexual • Gender/Sexual Orientation • Ability • Cyber • Intimidation • Hazing • Other
“ Data are a critical first step in addressing sources of inequity in education: in order to solve a problem, we must first be able to describe it.” Gibb, A.C. & Skiba, R. (2008). Using Data to Address Equity Issues in Special Education. Bloomington, IN: Center for Evaluation & Education Policy.
SWISEthnicity Reports • High priority issue • SpEd specifically • “Big 7” – adding Motivation & Ethnicity reports when working with teams • Ethnicity reports within SWIS allow us to progress monitor for prevention • CO PBIS Initiative will be offering webinars specifically around understanding Ethnicity reports
In addition to discipline data…. Look at % of students by ethnicity … • in AP & Honors courses • on Honor Rolls • with passing grades • in higher level math, setting course for MS & HS higher math and calculus • Attendance & Tardy rates • In SPED
Helpful Data • Mini-SET • Wheeling Data • Become familiar with School View (on CDE website) • Evaluate overall academic performance and disaggregated by race & ethnicity • Know your school district’s graduation rates and also know disaggregated rates • Watch trends from year to year
”The Law of the Scoreboard”John Maxwell The scoreboard is essential to understanding. It provides a snapshot of the game at any given time. The scoreboard is essential to evaluating. The scoreboard is essential to decision making. The scoreboard is essential to adjusting. The scoreboard is essential to winning.
Outcomes Team Time • Determine effectiveness of current data system and process • Review SWIS Readiness Checklist and determine what needs to be accomplished • Determine how data will be shared with staff and families (look at your Mini-SET!) • Complete action plan section (Data Entry & Analysis) identifying goals and tasks to be completed
Outcomes Team Time • Review your current Office Discipline Referral Form and check for compatibility with SWIS • Revise or create form to include SWIS-required categories • Determine how to present this discipline referral form to the staff • Complete action plan section (Discipline Procedures) identifying goals and tasks to be completed
Team Time • What is the current data system used by your team? (ex. Infinite Campus, SASI, SWIS, Powerschool) • Can the data system be used to assist your team in making data-based decisions? • How often does your team look at the data? • What data does your team look at? • Do you think that the team understands how to use data to make decisions? • Can you access data disaggregated by race and ethnicity? • Is your discipline data an accurate reflection of what is happening across campus? Reflection Questions
Team Time • Can your Data System answer the following questions: • how many referrals are there per day each month? • how many referrals are there a based on location? • how many referrals are there based on type of behavior? • how many referrals are there by individual student? • how many referrals are there based on time of day? • how many referrals are there based on motivation? • What needs to change in your data system, entry or output to help your team make decisions?
