          Numbers in columns correspond to items within the designated survey. Numbers in parenthesis indicate that survey item     

          applied to more than one component (e.g., item 19 of the School safety Survey addresses admin leadership & common  

           purpose)

 

Purpose of the MO SW-PBS Survey Item Analysis:

To assist Mo SW-PBS school teams use available PBS Survey data efficiently and effectively to guide decision-making, action planning, and/or intervention planning.

 

How to use the MO SW-PBS Survey Item Analysis:

1. Collect all survey results into a packet, consider making one copy of each for all team members for use at SW-PBS Team meetings.

 

2. Print a copy of the current SW-PBS Action Plan, or open current Action Plan on a computer and project so that all team members can view the document.

 

3. Choose a component (Tier 2, Tier 3, Family & Community, or Culturally Responsive, or a sub-component of Tier 1) to review/assess.

 

4. Begin with the School Safety Survey and review the survey items that are indicated for the component you are reviewing.

a.  Are the perceptions of stakeholders who took the survey (faculty, staff, parents, students, and/or community members) generally positive in that they indicate a feature is in place, or that there is work toward establishing the feature in question?

b. Are the perceptions of stakeholders who took the survey (faculty, staff, parents, students, and/or community members) generally negative in that they indicate a feature is not in place, or that there is not work toward establishing the feature in question?

c. Are there factors that are helping to drive implementation of the feature in question? Or are the factors that are barriers that are hindering the implementation of the feature?

d. Does your faculty need training or professional learning focused on this feature?

 

5. Repeat step 4 for review of the Team Implementation Checklist (TIC), the Schoolwide Evaluation Tool (SET) and the School Assessment Survey (SAS) results. 

a. Consider whether results of TIC confirm or conflict with results from schoolwide survey results (School Safety Survey or the SAS) or with external observation (SET).

b. Are the results of surveys consistent, and do they provide adequate guidance for actionable steps? If so consider the following:

I. Are there specific actionable steps that your team needs to maintain on the Action Plan related to this feature?

II. Are there specific actionable steps that your team needs tweak or change on the Action Plan related to this feature?

III. Are there specific actionable steps that your team needs to add to your Action Plan related to this feature?

IV. Specify:

A.      timeline for implementation,

B.      method to assess fidelity of implementation,

C.      method and measure to assess outcome,

D.     responsible party for each action step.

 

6. Repeat steps 4 & 5 for other components of SW-PBS indicated in the left-hand column.

 

7. Review Big 5 Data Review Guides for the past school year:

a. Is there consistency across the year regarding the problem behavior? location? percent of student population involved?

b. Are the actionable steps that have been documented on the current Action Plan of sufficient to address the challenging behaviors previously documented at your school? 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Emerging Team Communication Plan Checklist
