Here is my Action Research Plan! Let me know what you think! (As a side note, if you are not familiar with PBIS, it stands for Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports. My campus started this program last year and we are moving into phase 2 this next year. Phase 2 moves into teacher's classrooms. It'll be my job to track the progress of this program and we implement the changes outlined below.)
Oh, and sorry my template isn't as pretty as everyone else's! I had to action additional rows and my mac wouldn't let me match the style! Oh well! It's done! :-)
Action Planning Template

Goal: In what ways will implementing the second phase of our PBIS program effect tardies, discipline referrals, and the overall climate of our campus?

Evaluation
|
1. Look at data from the first year of our PBIS program (TROT) and discover the progress we've made throughout the first year of the program.

August 2013
|
Referral and Attendance data from the 2011-2012 school year (before the program started and 2012-1013 school (when we were in the first phase of PBIS).
|
Graph the data from 2011-2012 vs. 2012-2013 to give a visual for the progress we've made. Write a brief paragraph that identifies the data included. (total referrals, tardies, grade level offenses, number of referrals per student, etc.)
|
2. Identify goals for the coming year and ways to implement them.
A. 20 % reduction in referrals
B. Behavior expectations defined and visible to all students
C. Consistent enforcement of behavior expectations from room to room
D. Guidelines for success (TROT) more visible on campus

A. Teacher Buy-in, need quality presentation at staff development to create buy-in for the move into their classrooms.
B. Signs created for each classroom and key hallway locations. Present to incoming freshmen at Colt Camp
C. Create section on PDAS walk-throughs to record if teachers are integrated the TROT language as requested.
D. Enlist help from art department to create TROT mural on campus.
|
- Teacher feedback from staff development session over increased PBIS presence on campus.
-Pictures of signs in classrooms and hallways. Poll freshmen to gauge their understanding of TROT.
-Gather data from walk-throughs to see if teachers are integrating TROT as requested
-Pictures of murals created on campus.
|
3. Analyze first six weeks data and compare to where we were a year ago and when the program first started.

Create section on PDAS walk-throughs to record if teachers are integrated the TROT language as requested.
ReplyDeleteI'm having trouble with this section. I think it can be noted on informal walk-throughs, to gather data, but to tie it to PDAS does not feel right.
The point is to encourage and have teachers to use PBIS, but you need to define what that looks and sounds like in the classroom.
We use CHAMPS at my school, but it looks different in every teacher's classrooms, Just my 2 cents.
Thank you for your suggestion!
ReplyDeleteTying it in to the walk-throughs was a suggestion made at the encouragement of my site supervisor. The walk-throughs are 3-5 minutes and informal in nature. They are a part of the same evaluation system, but not their yearly PDAS. It would in no way be punitive, just information gathering.
We will be walking teachers through the expectations during staff development this year.
I think you have done a terrific, detailed job. I like the quantitative data you will be able to record. Well though through!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah!
DeleteI like the use of visuals to communicate expectations and results from data. And I agree with your walkthrough piece...that's so important in the evaluation of any strategy.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your ARP!
Lauren,
ReplyDeleteI like this plan. This summer I went to the state PBIS conference at Region 4 (I think) in Houston. It was very insightful. We don't do PBIS on my campus, but we are looking at starting to implement some of the components of it. I also like the idea of your visuals to help remind students of the expectations. On your number 2 activity, is this when you are going to present the goals to your teachers and then as a group come up with ways to implement? Just thought maybe you might want to add an activity to the timeline about the implementation of the goals. Super plan!
Kelly I was supposed to go to that conference and present with my campus, but I had a conflict! It's such an interesting field and I've really enjoyed the difference that it has made on our campus thus far!
DeleteThat's a good thought, I'll look at adding something about implementation. Thanks! :-)
Whoa! You certainly have this well planned out! Your research plan has made me realize I need to really add some information to my own!
