PBIS Assessment is a web-based application designed to assist schools in implementing positive behavior support (PBS) with fidelity. It allows schools to enter data from PBS tools to assess implementation at three levels: initial adoption, ongoing implementation, and sustained implementation. The website aims to improve efficiency and accuracy of data-based decision making around PBS. It will incorporate additional evidence-based tools over time and provide templates for evaluation planning and action planning based on entered data.

valuation is a methodological area that is closely related to, but distinguishable from more traditional social research. Evaluation utilizes many of the same methodologies used in traditional social research, but because evaluation takes place within a political and organizational context, it requires group skills, management ability, political dexterity, sensitivity to multiple stakeholders and other skills that social research in general does not rely on as much.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

18. The School-wide Evaluation Tool (SET), an interview and observation
protocol through which an external expert can evaluate the status of critical
PBIS features both before and after implementation, data entry is available for
coordinators only.
The SET is a research instrument for determining the extent to which a
school is implementing school-wide positive Behaviour support.
The SET results provide a summary score that is used (a) to determine
annual goals for school-wide effective Behaviour support, (b) to evaluate on-
going efforts toward school-wide Behaviour support, (c) to design and revise
procedures as needed, and (d) to compare annual accomplishments toward
school-wide effective Behaviour support.
Feature Areas of SET Data Sources
a) expectations defined, Permanent Products
b) Behavioural expectations taught, (e.g. discipline handbook, school improvement
c) acknowledgement procedures, plan for safety related goal, instructional materials,
d) correction procedures, meeting minutes)
e) monitoring and evaluation, Observations
f) management, and Staff Interviews
g) district level support. Student Interviews
19.

21. The BoQ is an expedient, effective assessment tool that
measures the degree to which a school is implementing the
universal level of school-wide positive Behaviour support
(SWPBS). Data entry is available for coordinators only.
The process typically includes the following:
The coach (facilitator) first completes the Coach Scoring Form
using the Scoring Guide that provides operational definitions of the
scores for each item.
The team members then individually complete the Team Member
Rating Form, a simplified version of the Coach’s Scoring Form that
does not require the Scoring Guide.
The BoQ has a total possible score of 100. This score is derived
from the 3-8 items in each of the 10 subscales. Each item has a
maximum value between one and three points, and points for the
items are summed to obtain a Total Score.
22.
23.
24.
25. The Team Checklist is used to guide PBIS
implementation team activities throughout
the year.
The checklist is used as a status report
quarterly or monthly. Teams can use the
results of the checklist to complete or revise
an action plan for the year.
26.

29. The School Safety Survey is designed to
assess risk factors and response plans for
school safety and violence.
The Safety Survey is completed annually
by a minimum of five school staff,
including the custodian.
This information is useful in determining
training and support needs related to
school safety and violence prevention.

35. The Self-Assessment Survey is used by school staff
to evaluate the implementation of PBIS systems.
The survey examines the current status and need
for improvement of four Behaviour support
systems:
a) school-wide discipline systems,
b) non-classroom management systems (e.g., cafeteria, hallway, playground),
c) classroom management systems, and
d) systems for individual students engaging in chronic problem Behaviours.
The Self-Assessment Survey is typically completed
when a school first begins adoption of School-wide
Behaviour Support systems, and then annually
(preferably in the Spring) thereafter as part of the
team’s action planning process.
