Positive Supports for Behavior and Discipline Resource Database

This presentation answers the questions: How can trauma-informed interventions enhance the PBIS/behavioral health system in schools? / When should trauma-informed approaches be used and at what tiers? / How can the core features of an Interconnected Systems Framework (ISF) support and guide the implementation of trauma-informed approaches in schools?

Recordings here include keynotes and presentations about PBIS concepts.

Schools across the U.S. are implementing PBIS in efforts to reduce racial disproportionality in school discipline, and overall, research shows that schools implementing PBIS with fidelity have more equitable school discipline. Yet eliminating disparities through standard PBIS implementation, without attention to the sociocultural context and systems that perpetuate inequities, is unlikely to produce desired outcomes. The presenters will share specific strategies and free Center resources for increasing equity in PBIS systems. 

Schools need meaningful data to identify a variety of needs and determine effectiveness of supports provided across tiers. This session will describe the various data used within the PBIS framework to select, monitor, and evaluate outcomes, practices, and systems at both the district and school level.

The key to improving school outcomes are the strategies utilized to support the students and adults at every level. This session will describe how data-driven PBIS teams emphasize the careful selection and integration of evidence-based practices or interventions into a continuum of effective behavior support.

Schools implementing evidence-based practices need support systems to enable effectiveness and efficiency to enhance outcomes. PBIS schools establish working structures or operational procedures to organize, sustain, and scale implementation. This session will describe the foundational system features critical to successful school-wide implementation.

This video provides an overview of the Pyramid Model as a PBIS framework for promoting young children’s social and emotional development and preventing and addressing challenging behavior.

Recordings here include keynotes and presentations about FBA/BIP/BSP concepts.

A resource collection compiled by and for Parent Centers and others. Resources are divided by type: good reads on FBAs and BIPs; webinars, presentations, videos; and webpages. (This is part 2 of the 3-part resource collection called Resource Collection on Positive Behavior Supports, Functional Behavioral Assessment, and School Discipline.)

This 2022 issue of CPIR’s enewsletter spotlights data basics for families (Education Data 101, also available in Spanish), a new resource from the Data Quality Campaign (Parents Are Getting Access to Student Data, But How Can We Support Them to Use It?), and a recent CPIR webinar (Sharing Info about State Assessments with Families of Children with Disabilities) presented in both English and Spanish.

This webinar challenges current thinking about how to set appropriately ambitious and measurable behavioral goals in light of the 2017 Endrew F. v. Douglas County School District decision by the United States Supreme Court. In this webinar, presenters share how to set ambitious behavioral goals for students by using a valid, reliable progress monitoring measure, and how to write measurable and realistic goals focused on the replacement behavior. This webinar is a companion to the Strategies for Setting Data-Driven Behavioral Individualized Education Program Goals Guide.

In this CPIR webinar, Renee Bradley, of OSEP, is joined by representatives from Parent Centers, protection and advocacy agencies, and state directors of special education to  unpack the important “Dear Colleague” letter released in 2016 by OSEP regarding behavior and school discipline, and discuss its impact on the field.

In this webinar, panelists discuss their implementation of the Pyramid Model with a focus on addressing equity and eliminating the use of exclusionary discipline practices.

This webinar focuses on building state capacity for centering equity in the collection, use, analysis, and reporting of administrative data collection to improve equitable access and outcomes.

This series of webinars focuses on collecting, analyzing, and using data through virtual engagement and highlights the importance of meaningful engagement of stakeholders to state and local data efforts.
