Goals• Define dual function of monitoring systems
o Assist schools and community personnel in effective decision-making
o Provide the data summaries needed for assessing student outcomes.
• Propose features of a multi-tiered system for monitoring student behavior.
• Describe features of SWIS Suite as one example
Dual Function
Collecting and Using Data for Evaluation
Collecting and Using Data for Problem
Solving
Features of a Functional Decision
System
• Multiple Tiers: Three Tiers----Three levels of Data Precision o Intensity of data system matches intensity of intervention support.
• Useful for Problem Solvingo Universal Screening, Progress Monitoringo Problem Identificationo Problem Solving
• Useful for District, State, Federal Reporting
• Can be Integrated: with Educational SIS; Community and Justice databases.
• Efficient: Requires less than 35 sec to enter an Office Discipline Referral
• Use A Common Set of Behavioral Categories that are Operational, Mutually Exclusive, and Exhaustive
Measures of Student Behavior
Measures for All Students
Measures for Some Students
Measures for a Few Students
Possible Measures of Student
BehaviorMeasures (www.swis.org)
Individual Student Information System (ISIS-SWIS)
1. Monitor team, assessment, selected outcomes2. Completely individualized3. Includes assessment of plan implementation
fidelity
Check-in/ Check-out SWIS (CICO SWIS)1. Monitors daily report data2. Monitors by student, by period, by goal
School-wide Information System (SWIS)Office Discipline Referrals1. ODR per day per month2. ODR per location3. ODR per time of day4. ODR per student5. ODR per problem behavior6. ODR per ethnicity7. Drill Down Function to assess with precision
1. Aggression in Cafeteria by certain students.

Main Messages• Establish school-level data systems that fit the Multi-tiered
approach.o More specific information as intensity of support increases
• Establish school-level ODR data systems that BOTH facilitate problem solving AND provide the data needed for performance reports
• Include fidelity of behavior support implementation as part of the individual student support system
