Universal Screening
Universal Screenings What is screened?
Academics Behavior
When does screening occur?
3 times per year Why?
Universal Screenings Who is screened?
Everyone
Why? This is not a pre-referral
process—you are screening your entire system
To identify curriculum problems
To identify instructional problems
To identify all students who are at risk, early
Universal Academic Screening How is screening
conducted?
Sample skills on the entire curriculum Not only those skills
currently being taught
Tools/Resources CBM TAKS (formative, data
is only available once per year—cannot use only TAKS for screening)
Benchmark testing TPRI
Universal Screenings What do you do with
the data? Compare your district
performance to state/national standards
Compare your schools to each other
Compare classrooms at each campus to each other
Universal Screenings How do you interpret
and use the data?
Box and whiskers charts
Set “cut points” ALL students who fall
below the cut are considered as potentially in need of Tier II interventions
Box and Whiskers Plot
Universal Screenings How do you determine cut
scores?
According to a district-level plan and a pre-determined, protocol
Decide if you are going to use district-wide percentiles Resources will go to student
needs Resources will probably not
be divided equally to all campuses
Assess your resources How many students can you
serve in Tier II? For academics For behavior
Universal Behavior Screening How is screening
conducted?
PBMAS (formative) Office referrals Behavior management
room referrals AEP placements
Universal Behavior Screening Sample screening questions: Is one teacher referring (to the office, to behavior
management) more students than others? Are all teachers referring students for the same types
of behavior? Oppositionality Verbal Aggression Physical Aggression
Universal Screenings Texas Behavior Support Initiative
Haven’t I heard of that before? Doesn’t that fit REALLY well with RTI? Is anyone still doing it?
If not, why?
Any lessons learned?
Universal Behavior Screening What are you looking for?
How are you doing across the board? How are you doing with specific subsets of
students? Are patterns consistent across schools?
Campus-level interventions?
Are patterns consistent within schools? Teacher-level interventions?
Universal Behavior Screening If you identify district-,
campus-, or teacher- level problems..
Do you have a universal behavior management system?
Is everyone trained every year?
Is it implemented by everyone, consistently?
Who needs additional training?
Who needs additional support and monitoring?
Universal Behavior Screening What do you do if you identify systemic
problems? Select or create a universal behavior management
system Train everyone on it every year (at least) MONITOR
Universal Behavior Screening What do you do if you identify teacher
problems? Assess what kinds of behaviors (or students) the
teacher is not managing well Develop a plan with a timeline and goals Train and re-train Monitor continuously Assess for growth
Universal Behavior Screening After you have verified that there are not
systemic or adult problems, or after they are addressed:
Are there individual student problems? Set cut points Monitor students in class Consider needs for targeted interventions
Universal ScreeningsPlanning for Implementation Do your needs analysis/readiness survey
Identify curricular/district-level needs Identify resources
People Tools Money
Identify prioritized training needs Set timelines
Create a training schedule for critical staff training that must occur prior to initial implementation
Create a schedule for annual trainings/refreshers
Who will analyze data at the district level? Will the same person do both
academic and behavior screening?
Who will analyze data at the building level?
Who will analyze data at the student level? All of the “who”s have to work
closely together in initial planning and in implementation
Assign responsibilities and write it in your implementation plan Identify and name one district-
level administrator who is ultimately accountable for universal screening
Identify the position responsible for district-level data analysis/communication
Identify the position on each campus responsible for process and data analysis
Universal Screenings Components of the Implementation Plan
When will screenings occur? Specific dates for each
school year Who is responsible to
determine dates for each year?
How will the schedule be provided to each administrator each school year?
When is campus level data due to the assigned district-level administrator?
When do districts find out the district-wide results?
Universal Screenings Components of the Implementation Plan
How will the data be analyzed? How will information be conveyed to
campus-level administrators? What tools will you use for:
Academic Screening Behavior Screening
Universal Screenings Components of the Implementation Plan
If a building or teacher problem is identified, What is the required corrective course of action? What is the timeline?
Universal Screenings Components of the Implementation Plan
For students who fall below (for academics) or above (for behaviors) the cut-offs What will happen? How will their Tier I progress be monitored? What is expected of the building administrator? What is expected of the teacher? Who should be notified? (teacher, parents, support staff,
student?) When? How?
Universal Screenings Components of the Implementation Plan
How much will this cost? Line in your RTI budget for screening
How will you pay for it? Are any additional staff needed?
Group Activity
Using universal academic screening data at the building level
Group Activity
Using a spreadsheet to evaluate referrals to behavior management
