Behavioral Universal Screening for PBIS

What are the Student Risk Screening Scales for RUSD Grades K-6?

    • K-6 PBIS Universal Screener: Student Internalizing Behavior Scale (SRSS - SIBS) - This SIBS is a 7-item screener (Cook et al., 2010) used to identify students who are at risk for antisocial behavior and uses a 4-point Likert scale: 0=never, 1=occasionally, 2=sometimes, 3=frequently. Every teacher rates each of their students on how often the student exhibits the risk factors outlined in the SIBS.

    • K-12 PBIS Universal Screener: Student Risk Screening Scale Externalizing 7 (SRSS-E7) - This SRSS-E7 is a 7-item screener (Drummond, 1994) used to identify students who are risk for antisocial behavior. The screener is validated for both elementary and secondary schools and uses a 4-point Likert scale: 0=never, 1=occasionally, 2=sometimes, 3=frequently. Every teacher rates each of their students on how often the student exhibits the risk factors outlined in the SRSS.

What are the Student Risk Screening Scales for RUSD Grades 7-12?

    • 7-12 PBIS Universal Screener: Student Risk Screening Scale Internalizing 6 (SRSS-I6) - The SRSS assessment is a universal screening tool that helps identify students who are at risk for antisocial behavior. Each student is rated on how often they exhibit the risk factors outlined in the SRSS, using a scale of 0-3 (0=never, 1=occasionally, 2=sometimes, 3=frequently).

    • K-12 PBIS Universal Screener: Student Risk Screening Scale Externalizing 7 (SRSS-E7) - This SRSS-E7 is a 7-item screener (Drummond, 1994) used to identify students who are risk for antisocial behavior. The screener is validated for both elementary and secondary schools and uses a 4-point Likert scale: 0=never, 1=occasionally, 2=sometimes, 3=frequently.

When will we complete them in RUSD?

How do we administer the screeners?

    • Teachers should know a student for at least 6 to 8 weeks before assessing his or her risk factors and have clear evidence of a student’s behavior in order to provide a score. Teachers should not consider past scores or consult with anyone regarding specific students or operational definitions of the SRSS risk factors. Each student should only receive one set of scores. Elementary schools are generally able to identify a primary teacher for each student. Secondary schools must choose an approach that ensures students only receive one score. Schools may choose one class period during the day in which all students are assessed. Another option is to choose one type of class (e.g., English) that is responsible for assessing students. Estimated administration time is 15-20 minutes per class.
