FBA/BIP supports
• Review data to make decisions on improvements to the
interventions themselves
• Assess effectiveness of intervention for individual students
Problem Solving Team (“conversation”)
• Develops plans for one student at a time
• Not the same group as the Systems Team
• Tier 2 Team Rep reports back to Systems Team

NOTE: Basic CICO can be modified through structural system changes and not be considered an individualized CICO. This may include
use of visual prompts on DPR, location where CICO happens, etc.
When students enter Tier 2 Interventions
• Every student starts out on basic Check In/Check Out (CICO)
• This will run for about 4 weeks (20 data points)
• Every 4 weeks or so, the Tier 2 team evaluates the student on CICO.
• The student can then fade out, or receive additional support (Layered on,
nothing gets taken away)
• If there is a major red flag, additional support can be layered on sooner. We
do not make data rules for these exceptions
• If a classroom teacher has a process in place with a student that is working,
we ask them to please share that with the Tier 2 team, and they can work
together to collect data
Additional Layers of Intervention
*The Tier 2 team will look at the data to see what additional layer of
intervention the student will need
1) Individualized CICO
2) SAIG group
3) Connections (Mentor)
Also available: School Based Mental Health
What if this is not working?
If these interventions are not showing the progress we are
looking for, then the Tier 2 team would move on to a brief
Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) that can be done by the
teacher.
Together as a team, they will create a behavior plan.

This is a BIGGIE!!!
Data monitored weekly by FBA/BIP Facilitator.
Training for Brief FBAs
• How do Tier 2 team members get trained to
be an FBA/BIP facilitator?
• What FBA do they get trained to use?
What FBA/BIP forms are used
and when?
• Which FBA/BIP forms are used in CFAUSD?
– FACTS
• The Functional Assessment Checklist for Teachers and
Staff
– PTR Intervention Behavior Plan
• Prevent, Teach, Reinforce
– Teacher Questionnaire
• When are the FBA/BIP forms used?
How it works in CFAUSD
1. Who is the brief FBA/BIP coordinator?
2. Who will be the FBA/BIP facilitators?
3. How will time to do this be arranged (e.g., shift of duties,
compensation?)
4. When/how will brief FBA/BIP findings be presented to
staff/problem solving team and by whom?
Challenges
• Time!
– Finding the time for the problem solving team to
meet
• End of Year
– At what point in the school year is it too late to do
an FBA?
Any Questions?
