1 Lessons Learned: Creating and Maintaining Evidence-based Practices within the Classroom and Across School Environments Reesha Adamson, Ph.D. Missouri State University Starting Point Educators cannot make students learn or behave Educators can create environments to increase the likelihood students learn and behave Environments that increase the likelihood are guided by a core curriculum and implemented with consistency and fidelity The Good News.. Research reviews continue to indicate that effective responses to significant behavioral challenges in school include: Social Skills Training Academic Restructuring Behavioral Interventions = instructional strategies - teaching 1

4 Conceptual Framework Enhancing School Capacity Healthy Choices Academic Skills Social Skills Building Child Capacity STUDENT Mental Health Family Support Behavior Management School Connectedness Increasing Family and Community Supports Goals of Major Study Identify/develop effective education and mental health interventions for students with emotional and behavioral problems What can be put in place and put in place well? Maximize intervention feasibility What do we know works? Maintain evidence based best practices approach How can we start with what schools are already doing? Develop intervention within existing school resources Considerations for Intervention Development Interventions must: multi-component, diverse delivered by practitioners after relatively little training minimal on-going technical assistance Classroom and Mental Health Manuals Assessment & Resources matched to interventions Wants/Need Supports/Tools in Manuals 4

Same instructional procedures used to teach academics Present the rule or routine. Post in prominent positions in the classroom at student eye level. Discuss why the rule or routine is important. Ask for student demonstrations of examples and non-examples of the desired behavior. Provide opportunities to practice with feedback. Explain what will happen when the rule or routine is followed and what will happen if not followed. Once taught, provide frequent and consistent acknowledgement for compliance. 9
10 Evidence-based Academic Instruction: OTR/ Positive Teacher-Student Interactions Increase ratio of positive to negative interactions (4:1) Provide instruction that involves frequent opportunities to actively respond to academic requests (OTR): Response cards (RC) Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI) Class-wide Peer Tutoring (CWPT) Guided Notes Research Question Within a core instructional subject area of mathematics, what are the effects of differing types of OTR (guided notes, class-wide peer tutoring, and response cards) on student disruptive behavior and academic engagement? Methodology Alternating Treatment Design Academic Growth Treatment Integrity Social Validity 10

Point out to students the importance and worth of information. Select topics that reflect students interests. Related content to local issues or problems that are important or familiar to students. Begin and conclude classes with statements such as This is an important topic/skill because and Why was this important for us to learn about? Allow students to select from a list of options. Evidence Based Academic Instruction: Accommodations Need for Appropriate Accommodations Approximately 85% of secondary students with EBD have at least one class in the general education setting. Help students: Access grade level materials Access instruction Improve classroom performance Prevent students from falling farther behind academically and potentially dropping out. 13
14 Purpose of Guide Facilitate selection of one or more accommodations that are matched to the student s specific academic or behavioral needs. Increase the match between a particular student s difficulty and an appropriate accommodation. Match testing accommodations to instructional accommodations. Implementation of Guide Provide teachers who rated accommodations as feasible and acceptable with model on how to choose accommodations Identify student problem Select related accommodation Have teachers implement the accommodation Assess student Performance Gather teacher feedback and treatment acceptability data post impelemtation Accommodations Guide Model 14

17 Accommodations vs. Modifications Changes to how academic content is presented or assessed Accommodations do not change what the student is expected to master Modifications change what the student is expected to master Academic Services, Supports, and Modifications for Students with EBD (Wagner et al., 2006) Modification Percentage of Students Elementary Middle High More time to take tests Tests read to students Modified tests More time to complete assignments Modified assignments , Modified grading standards Slower-paced instruction Peer tutoring Adult tutoring Learning strategies/study skills CARS IEP REVIEW Most Common Accommodations Extended Times Tests Read Aloud Tested in Small Group or Alternative Setting Often Determined by Disability Students with ADHD frequently received extended time Accommodation seldom linked to student need Testing accommodations not matched to instructional accommodations 17
18 CASE STUDY Externalizing behaviors Participant Description Low academic abilities 3 rd Grade academic functioning General education co-taught History class Teacher selected interventions (based on feasibility) Accommodations Positive Teacher/Student Interactions Model Implementation Step #1: Collect three samples of student work demonstrating frequent errors or low grades. Identify accommodations provided in IEP 18
19 Student IEP Accommodations Testing: Alternative setting Extended time for completion Read test to student (if requested) Assignments and Instruction: Lower difficulty level-shorten assignments Provided structured time to organize materials Frequent reminders of rules Check often for understanding/review Extended time for oral responses Extended time for written responses Maintain assignment notebook Bathroom break first 5 mins. of class, unless emergency Use lined paper for written assignments Assist or provide notes and study guides Extended to create assignments (1 ½ weeks or as agreed upon w/ teacher) Step #2: Identify general indicators of concern Writing, specifically difficulty organizing writing Couldn t complete short answer Attention to detail Chose wrong answers on multiple choice and selected obviously wrong answers Planning and time management Ran out of time to complete the test even when given multiple class periods Step # 3 Identify accommodations matched to student s needs Writing: Difficulty Organizing Writing Graphic Organizers Attention to Detail Assign a Peer Partner Use Graphic Organizers Chunk Large Assignments into Smaller Tasks Planning and Time Management Chunk Large Assignments into Smaller Tasks Graphic Organizers 19

Of class, unless emergency Use lined paper for written assignments Assist or Provide Notes and Study Guides Extended to create assignments (1 ½ weeks or as agreed upon w/ Teacher) Step #5: Meet with the student for input and preferences Student agreed with teachers concerns. Student agreed to all suggested accommodations. Student requested: A different seat with less distractions during independent work. Materials if he forgot to bring them. Step #6: List accommodations to be implemented and evaluated. Prioritize Determine instruction or testing Define and describe conditions: 1) Use graphic organizers (I/T) All in class work, Teacher-created or pre-made organizers. 1) Change seat to reduce distractions (I/T) Student and teacher will meet to discuss alternative seat, can be changed if student does demonstrate classroom expectations. 1) Materials be given to student if forgotten (e.g. pencil) (I/T) Student must request material at the start of the class and give teacher collateral for the return of material at the end of the class period. 2) Assign a peer partner (I) All in-class work with a teacher chosen partner. 3) Chunk large assignments into smaller tasks (I) All in class assignments spanning multiple class periods with a teacher-created checklist of completed tasks. 20
21 Percentage of Time 2/7/2017 Step #7: Teach the accommodations Assign a peer partner What are the appropriate behaviors of working with a peer? What noise level can you work with a peer? What does helping vs. doing look like? Use graphic organizers How do I use graphic organizers (5 paragraph outline, flow chart, venn diagram, checklist, etc.)? Chunk large assignments into smaller tasks How do I use a checklist? How do I manage my time? Change seat to reduce distractions How do I transition? When is it appropriate to move? Materials given to student if forgotten (e.g. pencil) How do I know what materials I need? What is appropriate collateral? Step #8: Examine at least three samples of student work/tests to determine if there is a change in the performance trend Class Grade Increased from a 24% to a 77% Highest class grade he had received since beginning high school! Active Engagement Baseline Graphic Organizers Change Seat Materials Given Peer Partner Chunking Assignments Reversal Graphic Organizers Change Seat outside classroom Materials Given Peer Partner Chunking Assignments Data Observation Periods 21
22 Building Youth Competence Mentoring Organization and Study Skills Interpersonal Skills Securing Effective Therapy Mentoring Foundation of Check & Connect Core Intervention across Students Developed for high-risk urban students at the secondary level (Anderson, Christenson, Sinclair, Lehr, 2004; Evelo, Sinclair, Hurley, Christenson, Thurlow, 1996) Utilizes a monitoring system with two components Check Systematically assess the extent to which students are engaged in school. Connect Respond on a regular basis to students educational needs according to their type and level of risk for disengagement from school. Establish an adult mentor at school to enhance school engagement What is Check & Connect? Four components = 1.A mentor who works with students and families for a minimum of 2 years, 2.Regular checks using school data 3.Timely and individualized intervention - connect 4.Engagement with families 22
23 What is Check & Connect? Descriptive Characteristics Targeted (tier 2) or intensive (tier 3) intervention A structured mentoring intervention Empirically supported Clearly delineated elements What is Check & Connect? Core Elements (fundamental principles) Relationships Focus on alterable variables Personalized, data-based intervention Long-term commitment Participation in and affiliation with school Problem solving & capacity building Persistence-Plus Student Engagement Engagement is not a fixed attribute, but rather an alterable state of being Engagement is highly influenced by home, school, and peers influences can serve as inhibitors or facilitators. *Role of mentor is designed to work as broker of services for promoting & facilitating student engagement 23
24 Check & Connect Check aspect Systematic monitoring of warning signs for withdrawal Focus on data that is readily available Emphasis on alterable indicators those that can be addressed through intervention Connect aspect Creating a person-environment fit Support that is tailored to individual student needs, based on Level of engagement with school Associated influences of home and school Leveraging of local resources Organization and Study Skills Intervention requires consistent monitoring and routine check-ups Daily Planner Missing Assignment Tracker Organization Checklist 24
