Addressing Academic
 Avoidance at Tier II


         Cynthia M. Anderson, PhD, BCBA-D

               University of Oregon
• Point card interventions—rationale and background
• Point cards within a multi-tiered system
• Tier II interventions—enhancing systems for positive and
  durable outcomes
• CICO—a foundation for Tier II interventions
• Breaks are Better
• Academic Behavior CICO


    Agenda
• Target behaviors operationally defined
• Assessment of student behavior
  • Pre-determined times
  • Numerical scale with defined values
• Contingencies for target behavior
• Home component
• Robust research base (e.g., Chafoulas et al., 2002, 2005;
  Dougherty & Dougherty, 1977; Fabiano et al., 2010;
  Schumaker et al., 1977)


Point Card Interventions
in Schools
• Reliance on home contingencies
• Selection process inconsistent
• Individualized
  • Target responses
  • Evaluation metric and schedule
  • contingencies

Traditional “home-school
notes” may be difficult to
scale up
• Intervention for ALL students
• Effective: 80% or more meeting benchmarks




Tier I                                        5

                                                  5
• Intervention
  • Explicit instruction
  • Opportunities to practice in target settings
  • Feedback
• Systems
  • Defined and measurable outcomes
  • Student progress monitored
  • Team-based problem solving, coaching




Tier I
• Simply “having” Tier I doesn’t guarantee
  • Teachers are implementing
  • All students have access
• “At risk” students need proactive behavior
  management
• Before implementing more intensive support, ask
  yourself…




Considerations
At least 80% of
  students are
successful…what
 about the rest?

• Match needs of school
• Are implemented rapidly
  • Similar across students
  • Staff trained in intervention
  • Materials on hand                     Enhance fidelity
• Match problem
  • Intensity
  • Mechanism (skill, fluency, or contingency deficit
• Use data-based decision-making
  • Who will likely benefit?
  • Is the intervention working?

                  check-out
• 10 studies to date
 • Elementary school (7) & middle school (3)
 • Decrease disruptive behavior & enhance academic
   engagement (e.g.,Campbell & Anderson, in press; Fairbanks et al.,
   2007; Hawken & Horner, 2003; Simonsen et al., 2010; Todd et
   al.,2008)
 • CICO most effective for students emitting attention-
   maintained problem behavior (Campbell & Anderson, 2008;
   March & Horner, 2007; McIntosh et al., 2009)

  • Inform parents
  • Monitor outcomes
  • Problem-solve
• Key characteristics
  • Fluent with ABC or BrB
  • Respected by adults and students

    Intervention Coordinator
• One coordinator for whole school (CICO, BrB, ABC)
• One coordinator for each intervention
• Multiple roles per or across interventions
  • One person monitors data and trains across intervention(s)
  • One or more individuals perform check in and out
  • One or more individuals enter data*

Action Plan (ABC p 4, BRB p 5)
• Selecting coordinator
• Modifying school-wide expectations
• Linked to school-wide expectations
• All students have same academic expectations
  • Easy to implement
  • May not always match each student’s needs
• Students have individualized expectations
  • Easier to match student needs
  • May reduce fidelity




Expectations are…

•   Planning for ABC
•   Developing daily progress report
•   Progress monitoring
•   Implementing




Implementation Planning
•   School-wide expectations AND academic expectations
•   Age appropriate rating scale
•   Teacher friendly
•   Data easy to summarize and determine if goal is met




     Designing Daily Progress Reports
• Morning check in
  • Points tied to specific behaviors?
  • Plan if homework isn’t completed
• Daily feedback
  • BrB: how many breaks to be allotted?
  • ABC: points for assignments after each class (1,0 or 2,1,0)
• Afternoon check out
  • Points tied to specific behaviors
  • Home component


   DPR Variations to Consider
Workbook (ABC, p 5; BrB,
p 6)
• Modify point card to fit your school
• Homework tracker?




Develop Progress Report
(Appendix A)
• Rationale: Enhance strength of intervention
• Ideal: Positive adult interaction functions as reinforcer
• Options
  • No incentives, just adult contact/relationship
  • Add incentive system for all
  • Incentives are for participation only
  • Students earn incentive for meeting point goal on 4/5
    days
  • Incentives purchased for varying points

    Using Incentives in ABC and
    BrB
•   Small tangible items (e.g., stickers, snack, art supplies)
•   “Secret teacher” note
•   Extra time in preferred activity (e.g., library, computer)
•   Seat choice at lunch
•   SWPBS points, trip to treasure chest
•   Free ticket to school event (e.g., sports game)
•   Parking pass for a day
•   Lunch with principal or favorite teacher/staff

Monitoring
• Standard selection criteria
• Consider
  •   Students not succeeding on CICO
  •   Students recommended by others
  •   Teacher referral indicates work avoidance
  •   Off-task behavior is key problem




Selecting Students for
Intervention
•   Planning for ABC
•   Developing ABC daily progress report
•   Progress monitoring ABC
•   Implementing ABC




Implementation Planning
• ABC Parents Guide (http://coe.uoregon.edu/ipbs/)
• Hold parent meeting
  • Purpose of ABC and why child was selected
  • Develop homework routine with parents
  • Review positive ways to respond to child when
     • Daily goals are or are not met
     • Homework is or is not completed




Introduce ABC to Parents
• Provide rationale
• Obtain student buy-in
  • Student is eager
  • Student uncertain
  • Student unwilling
• Student contract (Appendix C, p. 15)




   Introduce ABC to Students
GETTING STARTED: A FEW TIPS
• Start with ALL possible candidates
• Begin with the most difficult students
• Begin with students of most challenging teachers




 Begin with 3-5 students
 Students and teachers most likely to succeed

Editor's Notes

  • #2 Known as home-school notes, DPR, home/school notes,DBRS, BRC, etc.
  • #4 Robust research base BUT-studies focused on one or a few children-point cards now are used pretty widely in schools--fidelity is a big question as are outcomes
  • #5 Selection process—most schools don’t have system for identifying students in need of intervention or likely to benefit.Fidelity—remember how to implement with each studentResponse effort—new materials each time, etc
  • #6 Tier I begins w/clear goalsWhat do we expect students to learn?How will we know if it is learned?How do we respond when students have not learned?How do we respond when students learn early?
  • #10 Tier III guiding questionsWhat is the current level of performance?Where do we want to be & by when?How much growth must be demonstrated by month/year to get there?What resources are needed to move at this rate?
  • #11 Tier II guiding questionsWhat is the current level of performance?Where do we want to be & by when?How much growth must be demonstrated by month/year to get there?What resources are needed to move at this rate?

  • #44 Coordinator often is more than one person
  • #45 Anyone can enter but SOMEONE needs to graph!
  • #50 Suggest: begin with same and modify as needed. NEVER take away and add new ones—the ones the student succeeded on likely will “come back.”
  • #54 Use this to develop your point card—see appendix A (you can get an e-copy on line)
