PBIS Data Report and Summary: 2014-2015
The purpose of this publication is to summarize the goals, outcomes, and needs of Connecticut's Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports Initiatives (PBIS).
PBIS as an Effective Approach to Bullying Prevention & Intervention: Complying with Connecticut General Statutes §10-222d-k
The PBIS framework gives schools the tools to focus on important student outcomes, integrate related practices and initiatives, engage positively and preventively with students and parents, and use data to provide contextually and culturally related implementation. This publication illustrates the consistency between the PBIS framework and the structure established under Connecticut General Statutes §10-222d-k.
CT’s Fourteen-Year Expansion to a CT PBIS Model for Training, Coaching and Evaluation
SERC has joined with the Center for Behavioral Education and Research (CBER), six Regional Educational Service Centers (RESCs) in Connecticut, and the Connecticut State Department of Education (CSDE) to establish the Connecticut PBIS Collaborative. The Collaborative works to standardize Connecticut’s approach to training and supporting districts and school-based teams in PBIS implementation through shared training materials and resources. SERC has also developed a comprehensive statewide database of all schools trained by CBER, SERC, and RESCs. In the fall of 2014, Connecticut was one of twelve states awarded the School Climate Transformation Grant (SCTG). Connecticut’s focus is on building capacity of state-level PBIS trainers and coordinators, building capacity of districts to coordinate and implement PBIS, and aligning with current funding sources.
Fidelity of Tier I SWPBIS: a close examination of implementation
Implementation fidelity of School-wide Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (SWPBIS) at Tier I is measured with a number of research-validated tools. Presented here are results from three surveys completed annually:- the School-wide Evaluation Tool (SET), a survey performed by an external evaluator;
- the Benchmarks of Quality (BoQ), a survey completed by the school’s internal PBIS leadership team; and
- the Self-Assessment Survey (SAS), a survey completed by all school staff members.
A Family Guide to PBIS in Connecticut
