(What, When, Where, Who, Why)
Many 3rd and 4th graders (Who) are
engaging in Defiance (What),
between 11:45am and 12:00pm,
near the end of their 30-minute
recess period (When), with most
these instances occurring on the
Playground, in Class, or in the Hall

want to avoid the upcoming
Classroom instructional period
(Why).

TIPS Fidelity Checklist (TIPS-FC)
Directions: Use the TFC items below as a progress-monitoring tool for planning, implementing, and sustaining best practice meeting foundations and data based problem solving. The first 9 items on the left
measure the status of meeting foundations, while items 10 through 18 on the left measure the thoroughness of the team’s problem-solving processes, as exemplified by the TIPS model. Each item is scored on a
0 to 2 scale with 0 = not started; 1 = partial; and 2 = full implementation. A criterion for partial implementation is provided on this shortened version. If a team exceeds the criteria, they should score a “2” for
the item. If they do not meet the criteria described as a “1” a score of 0 should be entered. Please refer to your full TIPS Fidelity Checklist (TIPS-FC) for more detailed scoring. Once scored, sum the two
areas as separate score areas (Meeting Foundations and Problem Solving) and then divide this by the total possible (18). TIPS has been implemented with fidelity when the team scores 85% on Problem Solving
AND 85% on Problem Solving.
