Tenets include: – Not necessarily a person, but a set of skills and activities – There are some essential skills sets required of the leadership team to support and complete the activities MTSS Coaching Components • Coaching to facilitate MTSS capacity-building across state, district and school systems: Professional Development Shared Leadership Support Problem-Solving Facilitation Skills Content Knowledge Problem-Solving Facilitation Skills • School-Based Consultation Activities – Individual consultation – Small group problem-solving consultation (Gutkin & Curtis, 2008) – Systems-level consultation (Curtis, Castillo, & Cohen, 2008) • Problem-Solving & Facilitation Skills – Knowledge of empirically validated consultation models/approaches – Communication skills (i.e., questioning, listening, summarizing, paraphrasing, delivering, integrating, empathizing) – Interpersonal collaborative skills (i.e., relationshipbuilding, trust, shared decision-making) – Knowledge and skills to effectively facilitate the 4-step & 8-step problem-solving processes 1) Effective Communication •Essential Communication Skills • Active listening • Appropriately empathic • Open-ended questions for comprehensive collection of information • Paraphrasing, summarization, and ability to integrate thoughts and ideas in a cohesive manner • Comprehensive understanding of group dynamics • • • • • Tactfully challenge ideas Negotiate and engage in conflict resolution Manage direction of conversation Maintain meeting momentum Provide productive feedback and support Levels of Communication •PBS Team • • • • Engages in the problem-solving process Manages direction, maintains momentum, promotes consensus Prompts and supports task completion Attends all meetings and trainings with the team •School-Based • • • • Promotes PBS efforts with staff, families, and community Models positive interactions and reinforces staff and students Conducts and/or assists small group trainings on PBS Completes PBSES implementation data •District-Level • Attends coaching meetings facilitated by DC • Attends additional trainings, as needed • Presents PBS data to district-level personnel Communication Tools • PBS Newsletter • School Newsletter • PBS success stories (teacher, student, events) • Staff and student presentations • videos, skits, bulletin boards, morning announcements • RtIB Database graphs and charts • School Events • PBS presentations • School-Board, PTA, Community groups 2) Teaming and Collaboration •Coaching and PBS Team Relationship • Non-hierarchical • Facilitative vs. Expert Approach • Mentor and Support vs. Assessment •Structured and Supportive Environment • Establish Meeting Norms (3-5 maximum) • Team developed and agreed upon • Reviewed each meeting • Examples: • • • • Be on time All phones on silent Tasks distributed equally among members Everyone actively participates • Roles and Responsibilities Assigned • Team Leader, Recorder, Time-Keeper, Data Specialist, etc. Teaming and Collaboration •Effective Meetings • Occur monthly • When, where, time frame • Agenda • Prepared and delivered in advance • Data Review • Who, what, where, when, sub-groups • Problem-Solving • Problem ID, analysis, intervention design, evaluation • Action Planning • Celebrate Accomplishments Team Meeting Checklist http://flpbs.fmhi.usf.edu/coachescorner.asp Tier 1 Training Binder and Coaching Team Meeting Evaluation Tool http://flpbs.fmhi.usf.edu/the_team.asp Teaming and Collaboration •Action Planning and Implementation • Teaching Critical Elements (initial and on-going) • Expectations and Rules • Rewards/Recognition System • Discipline procedures and forms • Training (determined by data) • Faculty and

Instructional Routine Policies & Procedures at State & District Level Effective Teaming, Data-Based Problem-Solving, & Evaluation Family & Community Engagement Practices Treatment Acceptability, Social Validity, & Stakeholder Buy-In 3) Shared Leadership Support • Coaching develops the leadership skills of teachers and principals in order to address whole-school organizational improvement, facilitate reallocation and deployment of resources, and evaluate outcomes (Neufeld & Roper, 2003) • MTSS Leadership (Leithwood, 2010; Barnhardt, 2009; Crawford & Torgeson, 2007) – Establish a vision with a sense of urgency for change, maintain focus and deliver a consistent message over time – Focus on schools (districts are successful when schools are successful) – Create relationships with stakeholders based upon mutual respect and shared responsibility – Engage in expert problem solving – Invest in professional development 4) Professional Development • Educators need ongoing PD to obtain skills necessary to implement any change effort (Sansosti, Telzrow, & Noltemeyer, 2008). Examples of PD required of all educators in MTSS include: – – – – – Developing and gathering data sources Interpreting data Matching interventions to student need Presenting intervention outcomes to others Engaging in problem-solving processes • Coaching facilitates PD at the individual, small group, and whole-school or district/regional levels within an continuous improvement framework (Borman, Feger, & Kawakami, 2006). Coaching: As a set of skills/activities by a “team” 1) Demonstrate effective interpersonal communication skills 2) Use multiple types and sources of data to answer a variety of problem-solving questions 3) Disseminate evidence-based content knowledge a. Organizational Change/Implementation Process b. Integrated MTSS Three-Tiered Model c. Best Practices in Reading, Math, Behavior Instruction 4) Facilitate team-based collaborative problem solving 5) Support capacity of leadership team and staff to sustain a MTSS 6) Provide professional development training and technical assistance 7) Evaluate the impact of coaching activities and supports MTSS Coaching Guidebook Content: – Coaching Literature Review – Development of Definition, Model, & Skills – Operational Definitions of Terms & Procedures – State, District, & SchoolLevel Application – Guidance for Training, TA, & Ongoing Evaluation – Resources & References ! !
