| Abstract: This session will describe a comprehensive state-wide model for evaluating Tier 1/Universal Response to Intervention for Behavior (Positive Behavior Support) that seeks to answer critical questions about building a scalable and sustainable PBS system. Participants will receive a practical portrayal of an evaluation system that provides data for decision-making at the state level, and expands to include decision-making at the school and district levels as well. A description of Florida's state-wide evaluation system will be provided. This model, driven by 12 questions includes topics of implementation fidelity as both a dependent and independent variable and expands the traditional questions of statewide evaluations to include consumer satisfaction, team processes, barriers and facilitators to implementation, and attrition, Participants will receive comprehensive information about web-based data collection procedures, instruments/tools, data analysis and training. |
