Outcome Data Tools
Tier 1
School-wide Information System (SWIS) was created by the OSEP Technical Assistance Center on PBIS as a web-based data collection tool to support the data-based decision making of PBIS teams around discipline data. More information on SWIS can be found at their website, www.swis.org. If you are interested in getting SWIS, click on the Get SWIS link on the SWIS website.
Collecting and aggregating discipline data is vital to the PBIS process. Schools that choose not to use SWIS must have a method for collecting and aggregating their discipline data. If another method is not available, please feel free to use this Outcome Data Collection Tool. This tool was created in Microsoft Excel by Nicole Beier. It can be used to enter Office Discipline Referrals. It will automatically create four of the "Big 5" PBIS graphs (Average Referrals per Day per Month, Referrals by Problem Behavior, Referrals by Time, and Referrals by Location). Creation of the fifth graph (Referrals by Student) takes a bit of Excel knowledge. If you decide to use this tool, please feel free to contact Nicole Beier if you have any questions or comments. Please also let her know if you are using the tool so that she knows to contact you if the tool is updated in any way.
If you already enter Office Discipline Referral Data into a Student Management System, but that system does not create graphs. You may find this Aggregate Outcome Data Collection Tool useful. If you decide to use this tool, please feel free to contact Nicole Beier if you have any questions or comments. Please also let her know if you are using this tool so she knows to contact you if the tool is updated in any way.
Tier 2
SWIS also has a component that schools can purchase to collect and analyze their Check In Check Out Daily Progress Report data. Additional information on CICO SWIS can be found in the CICO-SWIS User Manual here. As above, if you are interested in getting SWIS, click on the Get SWIS link on the SWIS website (www.swis.org).
Missouri Schoolwide Positive Behavior Support created a tool that schools can use to collect and analyze Daily Progress Report data. Instructions for their tool can be found here, an Office 97-2003 compatible version of the tool can be found here, and an Office 2010 compatible version can be found here.
Florida's Positive Behavior Support Project also developed a tool that school's can download and use to enter and analyze their Daily Progress Report data. This tool can be found here.
