o CICO with individualized features
o Mentoring
CICO with
Individualized
Features
• Adds support to general CICO
• Used after general CICO has been tried for
predetermined amount of time (i.e. 4-6 weeks)
and student has not met pre-determined goal
set for ALL students
• Teachers choose more individualized options on
the Reverse Request for Assistance form
• Tier 2 team designs the options for the school
and communicates them to all staff
• The Reverse Request for Assistance form lists the
specified options from which to choose
• Uses the same DPR as used in general
CICO
• Designed to be quick and efficient
• Extra check in time before/after lunch with
facilitator or other staff member
• Peer accompanies student to check in at
beginning of the day and check out at end of
the day
• Check in with supportive adult prior to a
difficult class period
Mentoring

•
Traditional one-to-one mentoring
Group mentoring
Team mentoring

Brief to Complex FBA/BIP: Continuum
Brief
Complex
For:
Students with mild to moderate
problem behaviors (behaviors
that are NOT dangerous or
occurring in many settings)
Students with moderate to severe
behavioral problems; may be dangerous
and/or occurring in many settings
What:
Relatively Simple and Efficient
process for behavior support
planning based on “practical”
FBA data
Time-intensive process that may involve
emergency planning, family-centered
planning, and collaboration with outside
agencies
Developed
by whom:
Team of school-based
professionals (e.g., Problemsolving team members whose
responsibilities include FBA and
behavior intervention planning)
Individualized team including the family
& professionals trained to develop and
implement intensive interventions for
students with severe problem behaviors
(e.g., behavior specialist)

PBIS
• How is your team/school addressing cultural
responsiveness?
• How have you addressed CR in:
•
•
•
•
•
Analyzing proportionality
Teaching expectations (Behavioral Lessons/Cool Tools)
Acknowledging student behavior
Collecting data of majors and minors
Building Relationships with students and each other
New Federal Guidance on School Discipline and Discrimination
http://www2.ed.gov/policy/gen/guid/schooldiscipline/index.html
This resource is invaluable in helping to examine data, systems
and practices to problem-solve and action plan around
topics/issues related to cultural responsiveness.
1. Awareness, Knowledge & Skills re: culture impacting behavior
2. PBIS benefits all groups of students
3. Culturally meaningful school-wide expectations
4. Explicit definition of rules across settings
5. Culturally connected lessons
6. Positive adult/student relationships
7. Culturally meaningful acknowledgment system
8. Flowchart for managing behaviors without cultural bias
9. Culturally responsive interventions
10. Culturally responsive family-school partnerships
