Problem Solving• What is a problem?
o Any difference between what exists and what is desired.
• What its the difference between problems that are significant enough to warrant a solution and those that can be tolerated?o Social values o Academic expectationso Political and organizational expectations

Problem Solving• Define Problem
o Identify problems earlyo Identify problems with PRECISION before building solutions
• Establish Goalo Where do we want to be
• Build Solutions that are comprehensive and locally relevant
• Prevent, teach, extinguish, reward, monitor• Select solutions based on local strengths, culture, organization
• Build Action Plan for Implementing SolutionsTIPS II Training Manual (2014) www.uoecs.org

Precise Problem Statement• How often is a behavior occurring?
• Where is the behavior most likely to occur?• What is the behavior of concern?• Who is doing the behavior?• When is the behavior most likely?
• Given Who, What, Where, When:
oWHY does the behavior keep happening in this context?

Start with Primary Problem Statements
Look at the Big Picture. Then use data to refine the problem to a Precise Problem Statement.
Move to Precise Problem Statements
Office discipline referrals for 3rd graders are above national median for schools our size.
Referrals for physical aggression among third grade students from 11:30-12:30 in the cafeteria are occurring at 2-3 per day and increasing over time. It is believed that this is happening due to insufficient supervision and access to peer attention.

• Students on bus #43 are physically aggressive to gain peer attention at least 5 times per bus ride
• Three 5th grade boys are name calling and touching girls inappropriately during recess in an apparent attempt to obtain attention. This is occurring at least 5 times a week.
• Boys are engaging in sexual harassment.

Minor disrespect and disruption are occurring at a rate of 1.5 per day/month, ( increasing over time) and are most likely during the last 15 minutes of our block periods when students are engaged in independent seat work. This pattern is most common in 7th and 8th grades, involves many students, and appears to be maintained peer attention. Precise

• Danielle is 9 years old and refuses to follow parental requests to pick up toys, help with dishes, or do homework. She will sulk and pout until we get frustrated and send her to her room.
• Danielle is 9 years old and 3-4 times per day refuses to follow parental requests to do minor tasks like pick up toys, help with dishes or do homework at home. She will sulk and pout. The behaviors are maintained by escape from non-preferred activities.

Transforming Data into
Information• Tell the story that is present in your data.
• How often are problems occurring?• Is the trend increasing, decreasing, stable over time?• How does this level compare to last year?• Are there months with unusually high levels (peaks)?
• How do our patterns compare with others?• How do our patterns compare with prior years?• How do our patterns compare with what our students, families
and staff believe is appropriate/acceptable?
Do we have a Problem?• Review ODR per day per month
o What is the overall level?o What is the pattern?o What is typical?o What is possible?o What is needed?
• If there is a problem… then define with precision

Primary Problem Statements• Data examined at the SW level or with just one graph allow for “primary”
problem statements only, such as – Our school’s…o Average referrals per day per month for All Referrals & Minors are above
the 75th percentile for 5 of 6 monthso Average referrals per day per month for Majors show an increasing trendo Referrals for Defiance totaled 77 instances of the last three monthso Referrals in Classrooms have been too high for the last two monthso Referrals for each month of this year are higher than for the corresponding
month of the previous year TIP

WHY?—the hardest question• What is perceived as maintaining the problem behavior?
• Always assess motivation AFTER you have defined:o Who?o What?o Where?
• You always ask WHY students misbehave in the context.
• Look for “primary” motivation if there are multiple possibilities.
Why?• Obtain positives
o Attention from peerso Attention from adultso Personal satisfactiono Physical objectso Preferred activity
• Avoid negativeso Avoid peerso Avoid adultso Avoid worko Avoid undesirable activitieso Avoid undesirable objects/food/ sounds/ etc

Solution Action Elements Solution Action Elements Defined
Prevent Focus on prevention first. How could we reduce the situations that lead to these behaviors?
Teach How do we ensure that students know what they SHOULD be doing when these situations arise?
Reward How do we ensure that appropriate behavior is recognized?
Extinguish How do we work to ensure that problem behavior is NOT being rewarded.
Correct How will you correct errors?
Safety Are additional safety precautions needed?

Solution Action Elements Possible Generic Solution Actions
Prevent What can we do to prevent the problem?
Adjust physical environment.Define & document expectations and routines.Assure consistent & clear communication with all staff.
Teach What do we need to teach to solve the problem?
Explicit instruction linked to school wide expectations.Teach what to do, how to do it and when to do it.Model respect .
Reward What can we do to reward appropriate behavior?
Strengthen existing school wide rewards.Include student preferences.Use function-based reinforcers
Extinguish What can we do to prevent the
problem behavior from being rewarded? Use ‘signal’ for asking person to ‘stop’.Teach others to ignore (turn away/look down) problem behavior.
Correct What will we do to provide corrective feedback?
Intervene early by using a neutral, respectful tone of voice. Label inappropriate behavior followed by what to do Follow SW discipline procedures
Safety Do we need additional safety precautions?
Separate student from others if he/she is unable to demonstrate self-control.Make sure adult supervision is available.
How much effort is needed to bring about desired change?
• When deciding how many solution elements to implement consider: o Priority for change
• Severity of the problem• Intensity of the problem• Frequency of the problem• Potential safety concerns
o Impact of solution implementation
• Confidence that solution implementation will make a differenceo Feasibility/ Availability of resources
• Professional development, support, time, tools• Existing skills and capacities of implementers• Is this doable? Is it the most efficient approach?

Is Solution Appropriate for the context?• Solution actions should fit the context
o Consider your school’s culture & expectationso Consider your school’s improvement plan goalso Consider the school calendaro Consider impact of solution implementation on staff work load &
classroom instruction schedules• Implementation time & effort need to be worth it by meeting the goal
o Consider the function of the problem behavior

Your Turn• Too many ODRs (3.4 per day) for aggression and fighting
during 3rd period recess by many boys (and some girls) wanting access to the playground equipment.
• Prevent? Extinction?• Teach? Correction?• Reward? Safety?
• Data System Needed?
Your Turn• Precise Problem:
• Solutiono Prevent Extinctiono Teach Correctiono Reward Safety
o Data System
Action PlanningWhat will be done Who will do it By When
Data Collection1. Did we implement the solution?2. Did the solution benefit students?
Teacher Completed Fidelity ScalesEstablish a fidelity check routine that relates to
Implementation• A 1-5 scale is used for questions • Up to 3 questions per week• Share scale as a poster in the faculty room, an electronic
survey, or paper and pencilWe agreed to provide “high-five greetings” to all students entering your class on time in the morning this week? How did we do?
1 2 3 4 5No Yes
How many days (we agreed to 4) during the week did you review with students the procedures for
passing in the hall?
1 2 3 4 5✓ ✓✓✓ ✓✓✓
Summary• Solve Problems• Build “meeting foundations” (roles, minutes,
systems)• Use data to define problems with precision
o Define problems early
• Use data to build solutions• Include “Action Plans” with each solution• Use data to ask (a) did we implement, and (b) did
the plan benefit students?
