Applying Behavior Analysis to School Violence and Discipline Problems: School-Wide Positive Behavior Support School discipline is a growing concern in the United States.
Educators frequently are faced with discipline problems ranging from infrequent but extreme problems (e.g., shootings) to less severe problems that occur at high frequency (e.g., bullying, insubordination, tardiness, and fighting). Unfortunately, teachers report feeling ill prepared to deal effectively with discipline problems in schools. Best practices in school discipline A book chapter from the book 'Best Practices in School Psychology-II.' CT SWPBS: Coaching. Pyramids of Intervention. Tiered Instruction in a Response-to-Intervention Model. Teams of teachers, assisted by those who are familiar with data interpretation, make judgments about whether students are making sufficient progress to remain in their current tiered instruction, should be moved to a different tier, or whether the instructional process being used within the tiered instruction is well matched to the student's current skill needs.
For example, a student may be assigned to a Tier 2 instructional process focused primarily on fluency building in reading. When the team meets, they note that the student's progress-monitoring data shows that the student is now reading at levels above the benchmark for end-of-year performance for that grade. However, when looking at the student's development as indicated by data reflecting gains in reading comprehension, it is found that the student's skills in comprehension strategy development is lacking.
RTI presents many questions to schools. Perhaps the largest question is related to time.
