TFI 1.12 EVALUATION: Discipline Data
The Tier 1 Team has instantaneous access to graphed reports summarizing discipline data organized by frequency of problem behavior events by behavior, location, time of day, and by individual student.
Data are used to develop plans and actions that respond to what is really occurring in the school rather than reaching at straws and making assumptions. Data that are kept current provide a real-time look at your school climate. Data is used to select, monitor, and evaluate outcomes, practices and systems.

Culturally Responsive - TFI 1.12 Elaboration
Teams regularly disaggregate their discipline data as an effective and objective way to assess and monitor equity in student outcomes. Teams are purposeful in examining inequitable outcome data first from a systems perspective, before viewing it as an issue with an individual student or family.
“Schools that are safe, effective, and violence free are not created by accident. They are environments where considerable effort has been made to build and maintain supportive school cultures. Part of this effort consists of evaluating and monitoring the types of behaviors students are exhibiting. Office Referrals are used by schools throughout the nation as one method for managing and monitoring disruptive student behavior. Referrals are more than an index of student behavior; they are an index of the consistency and quality of the school’s discipline system.”

The Aeries Portal for Staff provides easy access to student data with a web-based application designed to provide school and district administrators access to the student information they need in multiple formats (PDF, RTF, XLS or TXT). Site administrators designate which staff have access to input and generate discipline data.

In TFI 1.12 the role of the Team is to identify all staff members who currently input discipline data and have the capability to generate reports. The Data Analyst will partner with these staff members to ensure they are properly trained and to devise a system for requesting discipline data to share with the Team and staff.

Ensuring the Discipline Data is Complete and Accurate
Ensuring the Discipline Data is Complete and Accurate
In order for Teams to engage in Data-Based Decision Making (TFI 1.13), it will be necessary for the Team to routinely evaluate the site's data to ensure it is accurate and complete. The following trainings and resources assist in conducting that work.

The SBCUSD Office Referral provides a standardized form on which all schools document Location, Problem Behaviors, Environmental Factors, and Possible Function. Adoption of the district-wide form in 2007 made it possible for the IT Department to develop an in-house database to manage discipline data (SB2000, Aeries) making it possible for site teams to generate immediate, up-to-date Office Referral reports for on-going data analysis. Note: All Office Referrals must be input into the district database.
