1 Providing Pro-Active Positive Programming for Students with the Most Significant Behavioral and Mental Health Needs within a Public School District Urban Collaborative Conference Los Angles, CA May 2016 KAREN FINIGAN, M.ED DIRECTOR OF SPECIAL EDUCATION RENTON SCHOOL DISTRICT LISA HOYT, PH.D. PRINCIPAL OF RENTON ACADEMY RENTON SCHOOL DISTRICT
2 Learning Target Participants will gain deeper understanding of Emotional and Behavioral Disabilities and evidenced/research based interventions and services so that we can effectively support students with challenging behavior in school districts.
3 A History of Poor Outcomes for Students with EBD Cycle of poverty, school failure, antisocial behavior & criminality (Walker, Ramsey, Gresham, 2004) Ongoing problems with discipline and antisocial behavior increase as students get older (Bradley, 2008) More academically capable, but fail more frequently (Bradley, 2008) More than half (55%) drop out of school (Bradley, 2008) Significant over-representation of students of color, while under identifying girls and students with internalizing issues (Hosp & Reschly, 2004) Increasingly low overall social and emotional functioning that continues into adulthood (Wagner, 2003)
4 Prevalence of EBD U.S. Department of Education estimates that approximately 1% of the student population has EBD Research has found that it is closer to 7% (Moore et. al, 2000) For a school district the size of Renton School District (15,000 students) that translates into: 150 students at 1% 1, 050 students at 7%.
5 Renton School District wanted to: Serve ALL of the students within their own community Develop positive programming that is evidence based Have control over hiring staff, selecting and developing curriculum, and decision making Offer more opportunities for students to integrate back to the comprehensive schools Decision: Build a Therapeutic Day School Program for students with EBD: Renton Academy
6 Number of Classrooms Average Number of Students Number of Staff Student Demographics Renton Academy elementary school classrooms 2 middle school classrooms 2 high school classrooms 50 Students 7 Special Education Teachers 14 Classified 2 Administration 6 Related Service Support Staff Hispanic Asian Black, American Indian/ Alaskan Native White Multi-Racial Low Income Percent enrolled the entire year 16% 2% 38% 2% 34% 8% 76% 40%
7 5 Keys to Successful Program Development for Students with Challenging Behavior 1. Common Philosophical Framework 2. Investment in Front Line Staff 3. Fiscal Responsibility with Cost Understanding 4. Data Collection 5. Clear Systems and Structures that are Understood by All through Collaboration, Coaching, and Reflective Practice
8 1. Common Philosophical Framework Programs that have a well developed philosophical foundation that is used as part of ongoing decision making are more effective than those who do not. Provides a framework for decision making, program development and implementation. (Cheney & Barringer, 1999; Senge, 2000)
9 Philosophical Framework: Therapeutic Re-EDucation Programs that have a well developed philosophical foundation that is used as part of ongoing decision making are more effective than those who do not. Provides a framework for decision making, program development and implementation. (Cheney & Barringer, 1999; Fullan 2007; Senge, 2000)
10 The Philosophical Framework of Therapeutic Re-EDucation But What is Re-ED? Re-EDucation for children and youth with Emotional Disturbance Nicholas Hobbs, Ph.D. Founder of Project Re-ED
11 We are here because we believe that we can make a difference! Hobbs asked a different question Re-ED provides the framework for developing a program that can change the lives of our students. Special Education Glass of Water
12 Meaningful Philosophical Frameworks Are strength based Integrate and align with evidence based practices Focus and unify the direction and approach of the program Provide a structure & foundation for problem solving and decision making Communicate focus and priorities of program to stakeholders
13 Clear Referral and Reintegration Process Data Based Decision Making Positive Responses to Feelings & Needs Elements of an Effective Re-EDucation Program for the 21 st Century Program Philosophy & Systems Statement of Mission and Philosophical Framework Structure Balanced Behavior Management Climate & Group Process Group Meetings & Pro-Social Skills Development Individual Programming: Builds Academic and Social Competence Meaningful Overall Assessment Academic Accommodations program and Modifications Useful and Effective FBAs & BIPs Culturally Relevant Supports and Interventions Effective Therapeutic Supports Effective Instructional Style & Strategies Rules, Rituals, Routines Effective Crisis Prevention Ongoing Professional Development Scheduled High Levels of Engagement Meaningful Family Development Bridget Walker & Frank Fecser

15 Re-EDucation at Renton Academy The 12 principles of Re-EDucation are the foundation in which all of decisions are made It in the basis for the program structure, curriculum, and interventions are selected It is how the staff communicates with each other, students, outside teams and families about priorities
16 Time is an Ally KS 9/22-5/ Points Earned 4 3 Series1 Linear (Series1) Dates
17 Time is an Ally Supporting Practices: Functional Behavioral Assessments Behavior Intervention Plans Clear and consistent structure Understanding of the 9 Stages of Development High rates of academic and behavioral feedback Strength based programs School Wide Positive Behavior Supports Data Based Decision Making Just Manageable Difficulty Stimulus Cues
18 2. Invest in Frontline staff T/Cs have a unique role Primary change agents are those who spend the most time with the children Integrates educational and therapeutic supports and interventions within one role This concept has versatility and power to facilitate change
19 Beyond the tip of the Iceberg Re-EDucation believes that all behavior has meaning and behavior reflects underlying needs. Our job is to respond to both.

22 "Educational change depends on what teachers do and think - it's as simple and as complex as that." (Fullan & Steigelbauer, 2014)
23 Fiscal Responsibility with Cost Understanding The complexity of the social-emotional-behavioral supports needed to promote academic success for students with serious needs can easily overwhelm the capacity of school resources (Fredericks, 1994) Highly restrictive placements are extremely costly to schools and other collaborating systems, and assuring least restrictive placement of youth in special education with EBD has been associated with significant cost savings (Cunningham et al., 2008) You are going have to spend so spend smart!
24 Cost of Secondary EBD programs in secondary students with EBD placed in out of district placements. Tuition 70, 000 $840, 000 Transportation 18,000 ($100 a day) $216, 000 Total $1,056,000 Two self-contained middle school EBD classrooms Staffing $ 280,000 Total potential budget: $1,336,000

28 Clear Systems and Structures that are Understood by All through Collaboration, Coaching, and Reflective Practice The single most common request for assistance from teachers is related to behavior and classroom management (Rose & Gallup, 2005). School discipline issues such as disruptive behavior and violence also have an increased effect on teacher stress and burnout (Smith & Smith, 2006) and significantly influence the persistence of new teachers in their teaching careers (Ingersoll & Smith, 2003). Early intervention and treatment for students at-risk for emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD) is essential to prevent more serious behaviors from developing (Kauffman, 2005; Greer-Chase, Rhodes, & Kellam, 2002). Teacher s classroom management practices have a significant, positive effect on decreasing problem behavior in the classroom (Oliver, Wehby, & Daniel, 2011)

43 ROCKS Talk: Problem Solving
44 Recognizing Student Success Rockhopper Awards for students, presented at monthly assemblies ROCKS tickets to recognize a student or class caught demonstrating the school expectations Frequent Feedback on personal goals and daily passports
45 4. Data Based Decision Making Job of school leaders to assist practitioners in collecting and analyzing data (Joyce & Showers, 2002). Having explicit systems to collect and share the data with the entire school staff can increase short and long-term commitment to an innovation (Fullan, 2005). Implementation fidelity and outcome data can be used to improve implementation quality (Adelman & Taylor, 2003; Greenwood, Delquadri, & Bulgren, 1993; Martinez & Harvey, 2004) Monitoring implementation data allows for the innovation to be improved and refined over time (Berman & McLaughlin, 1976; DeStefano et al., 2001; Huberman, 1983;Weissberg & Utne-O Brien, 2004).

I can do even the hardest school work if I try I'm certain I can master the skills taught in class this year I really can't do much to change how smart I am I can do almost all the work in class if I don't give up I can learn new things but I can't really change how smart I am I understand my family culture and values Strongly Disagree Strongly Agree Copyright 2013, Survey Items: Youth Development Executives of Kind County.

58 5. Collaboration, Coaching, and Reflective Practice When known tools fail to produce behavioral success with students, teachers begin to feel inadequate, incompetent, and helpless and typically resort to more traditional means of behavior management, i.e. punishment (Sugai & Horner, 2002) Research has found that a lack of self-awareness may actually lead to problem student behaviors and negatively impact classroom management and learning (Richardson & Shupe, 2003; Sutherland & Wheby, 2001)
59 Always consider yourself! Self-evaluation promotes teacher introspection and helps identify the crucial aspects of teaching. Teacher behavior, such as asking high quality questions and providing positive praise, affects student behavior and can result in increased on-task behavior and lower levels of inappropriate behavior (Good & Brophy, 1994; Kauchak & Eggen, 2007; Sutherland & Wehby, 2001). Strong programs must build systems of self-evaluation and reflection! (Regan, 2011)

62 The constant challenge is to design a daily program so engaging, so varied and new, yet orderly and stable so meshed with the growth of the child s mind, so rich in human interchange filled with success in matters small and large, so unconcerned with failure, so appreciative of individuality and of common purpose.. so joyous, so aware that the disturbed child finds him or herself immediately committed to a new way of living at once more satisfying to him or herself, and more satisfactory to the people in his/her life - Nicholas Hobbs, Ph.D. the architect of Re-EDucation. From the book, The Troubled and Troubling Child, 1982
