School Based Interventions

Substantial research has been devoted to various models of intervention delivery within school systems. Multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS) is an educational service-delivery model in which all students are provided academic and behavioral supports that are matched to need and skill level. A key feature of MTSS frameworks is the ongoing use of data to inform treatment (i.e., intervention) decisions of increasing intensity. That is, MTSS frameworks are tiered models that provide universal (Tier I), secondary (Tier II), and tertiary (Tier III) supports that are explicitly matched to student need. Students’ responsiveness to interventions are then monitored in determining whether students require alternative supports of differing intensity. MTSS, in which intervention intensity is increased dependent on failure to respond to interventions of lesser intensity, has been found to be an effective intervention delivery model. The chapter describes the implementation of MTSS, including specific applications within a Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) model and Response to Intervention model. Finally, the chapter presents a general data-based problem-solving model that can be utilized to evaluate intervention effect across all levels of support.

Core Features

Assessing fidelity of implementation of school-based interventions is a critical factor in successful implementation and sustainability. The Tiered Fidelity Inventory (TFI) was developed as a comprehensive measure of all three tiers of School-Wide Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (SWPBIS) and is intended to measure the extent to which the core features of SWPBIS are implemented with fidelity. The purpose of this study was to assess the extent to which the TFI can be used as one measure of all three tiers, three separate measures of individual tiers, or as a more granular level of fidelity that measures implementation on 10 subscales across the tiers. A confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to validate the factor structure of the TFI. Results indicate that the TFI is a valid measure of fidelity of implementation of SWPBIS and can be used to measure implementation by subscales, tiers, and as a comprehensive assessment of all three tiers.

This volume includes a variety of intervention strategies utilizing peers as change agents in school-based interventions. The book presents an updated conceptualization of peer-mediated interventions (PMIs), including peer-mediated academic interventions, peer-mediated behavioral interventions, and peer-mediated group supports. Each section includes a chapter describing the research supporting each category of PMI, as well as practical chapters detailing the use of different strategies that fit under each of the categories. The practical chapters describe the common procedures involved in each PMI, recommendations for successful implementation with an equity lens in applied settings, and useful resources such as implementation scripts for use in schools.

School consultation is a service delivery model that increases the potential of school-based interventionists to provide services to children. This is due to consultation’s indirect nature and emphasis on training consultees. In a consultative model, a consultant (e.g. school psychologist) works with a consultee (e.g. teacher) who will deliver an intervention to a child. The chapter describes the relative advantages of such practices, such as efficiency, improved outcomes for students, enhancement in knowledge of consultees, and fostering of family-school partnerships. The chapter presents a model for behavioral consultation, with considerations that should be made in order to enhance the effectiveness of consultation. In particular, elements of sincerity, trust, communication, and partnership are described. Following, the chapter describes both traditional behavioral consultation and conjoint behavioral consultation.

This chapter covers the Response to Intervention framework, Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports, and multitiered systems of supports (MTSS). The Response to Intervention framework is a central step in implementing a successful MTSS framework. MTSS delivers school-based supports across three tiers: tier 1 (universal), tier 2 (targeted), and tier 3 (individualized). The MTSS framework is a resource that enables schools to use data not only to identify students at risk for poor learning outcomes but also to monitor student progress and deliver evidence-based interventions. The chapter provides examples of ways social workers can maximize the utility of these models and school teams to improve student outcomes.
