Board approves joining University research on PBIS Tier 2 'TIPS' training
Summary
The board approved participation in a University of Oregon research and training program for PBIS Tier 2 (Teams Initiated Problem Solving), which will include recorded meetings and provision of a SWIS account valued at $350.
Palmetto Aerospace Academy staff asked the board to approve participation in a University of Oregon research project that would provide training and support for Tier 2 PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) practices known as TIPS (Teams Initiated Problem Solving).
Staff said the research partner would provide TIPS training to participating elementary schools and would record and review school-team meetings as part of the research. The university would pay for a SWIS account — a data-tracking tool used for PBIS — valued at $350 for participating schools. Staff said participating in the research would expand the district’s access to evidence-based Tier-2 interventions and supports and could help reduce student referrals.
The board moved and approved the item by voice vote. Staff emphasized the potential benefit was both training and a paid software account.
Ending: Staff will proceed with enrollment in the research training for elementary schools and use the SWIS account to track PBIS data as described during the meeting.
