Completing the SRSS-IE
Materials Needed: SRSS-IE teacher form for every teacher with student names pre-entered.
Time Involvement: 10-15 min per class
Prepping:
1. Load the screener on to the T-Drive (or similar interface your school has chosen) for
a secure storage of the data.
2. Make an excel file for each teacher using the SRSS-IE Teacher Form. Label with
teacher name and date. (Please do not copy the screener as multiple sheets in one
excel file.)
3. For each teacher, insert student first and last names in the appropriate column.
Repeat this step with the students’ district ID numbers (This can be downloaded
from SMS; it may be helpful to get a school secretary to help with this).
4. Once completed, save. Now teachers are ready to complete.
Screening (Teachers):
1. Start with the first student in your classroom (remember to only screen students
who have been present at least 30 days).
2. Score the student on the first item on a 0-3 Likert-type scale then move across the
scale to complete all items for one student at a time.
3. Repeat this process for the remaining students.
4. Recommendation: Do not go down the columns and score all students on the same
item at the same time. By scoring row by row a more accurate depiction of student
behavior is created. Also, only one adult should complete the screener, please
refrain from having discussions about children.
5. Check to make sure every item has been completed for students that should be
screened. Also check that all items are scored a 0, 1, 2, or 3 only (i.e., eyeball for
typos).
Scoring (Team):
1. Once all of the teachers have completed screening their students, the team can begin
scoring the screeners.
2. Watch the “Helping School Conduct Universal Behavior Screeners” webinar on
tennesseebsp.org.
3. Open the SRSS-IE Teacher Form file for every teacher.
4. Open the SRSS-IE Master Spreadsheet (be sure to click “enable macros”).
5. Copy and paste all completed teacher screener into the master school analysis
spreadsheet on the Student Scores tab (check for blank cells).
6. Count the total number of students screened and enter that number at the top of the
spreadsheet.
7. Check total columns (cut scores in table below).
8. Click on the externalizing Frequent Flyers tab, and click in cell A2 to create the
externalizing frequent flyer list. This will also automatically calculate the total
number of students who are and are not at-risk in the bottom right corner of the
spreadsheet.
9. Click on the Internalizing Frequent Flyers tab, and click in cell A2 to create the
internalizing frequent flyer list. This will also automatically calculate the total
number of students who are and are not at-risk in the bottom right corner of the
spreadsheet.
10. For sharing back information, check out the externalizing/internalizing triangle tabs
and the externalizing/internalizing student chart tabs.

Share overall risk with faculty and staff
Compare time points to analyze whether or not your plan is working
Look at numbers by grade level
Behavior Screener at Tier II and Tier III
a. Look at Individual students who are at risk for externalizing and
internalizing behaviors
b. Place students in interventions with the help of Tier II and Tier III
intervention grids
c. Discuss screener data as a part of regularly scheduled data team meetings
d. Look at multiple sources of data (academic and behavior) to place students
in appropriate interventions
