REORGANIZING THE DISTRICT TEAM
10
District Behavior Team
• We first developed a district behavior team in 2005-2006
• The original team design had multiple members from ranks of
administrators, counselors, and teachers from each building.
• Originally led by Director of Pupil Services.
• In 2011 one of our coaches took over the leadership of the
team.
11
Challenges
• Two years ago we realized that the district team was not
making the impact in PBIS programming that it should.
• It was able to aggregate district data but actions plans were
not effectively created or implemented.
• The district team was large without clear points of
responsibility. It did not serve as a good model for the
buildings.
• Because of these weakness, the building level fidelity varied
greatly among our schools
12
Plan to Restructure
We concluded that there needed to be major
restructuring at the district level if we were going to
improve at the building level.
We identified 2 objectives to the restructuring:
○
To decentralize the funding--give buildings direct
access to the budget through a line in individual
Fund 10 budgets
○
To centralize the professional development
13
Proposal brought to the Administration Team
April, 2014
1.
The District PBIS Team would have one building facilitator
representing each school. The D-PBIS would continue to be
facilitated by district coaches, Jack and Ryan.
2.
The D-PBIS team would meet monthly (no cost to cover subs and
no teachers out for half day).
3.
The D-PBIS meeting would focus on professional development for
building facilitators, analysis of district aggregate data, and
monitor the levels of implementation district wide.
4.
Building facilitators would be compensated with a $1000 annual
stipend. They would be responsible for full participation in the DPBIS meeting and all district PBIS initiatives and for collaborating
with building administration in the operations of the building PBIS
team as well as the PBIS Tiers 1,2 and 3 systems and structures.
14
Proposal brought to the Administration Team
April, 2014
5.
The building level teams would continue to operate with members
selected by building administrators. The district would continue
to support after-school meetings of 4- 8 members (8 is the
recommended maximum team size for any building). If buildings
wanted more member representation they can cover that inhouse using discretionary funds or other source.
6.
Building facilitators and administrators would be provided an
annual discretionary PBIS budget line item for building PBIS
expenses such as staffing CICO and re-teaching systems, kick-offs
and boosters, celebrations, communication, parent involvement,
summer work, etc.
7.
D-PBIS would also have a discretionary line item budget for district
related expenses such as professional development,
communications, data systems analysis, communications, etc.

16
Why ‘Facilitator’
• SSD has an expanding coaching network of 8 for academics in
literacy, elementary instruction, technology integration, and
special education .
• These 8 coaches are full time and available to meet with
faculty in the classroom and other times during the day
• Our ‘building coaches’ do not have that flexibility – they teach
full time as well. Therefore we adopted the term ‘Facilitator’
to avoid confusion regarding availability and responsibility
17
NEW TEAM STRUCTURE
18
MONTHLY DISTRICT MEETINGS
We have monthly meetings of D-PBIS team, the 3rd Tuesday of every month,
4:00 – 5:30 PM. We rotate buildings. The work is focused on:
• Reviewing the data analysis of district behavior and implementation
data prepared by the coaches
• Engaging in professional development to guide facilitators back at
their buildings,
• Preparing staff development district-wide, and
• Communications.
Facilitators also bring to the district team issues, concerns and
recommendations from building teams.
