Facility-Wide Tiered Fidelity Inventory v0.2 - Implementing PBIS in Alternative Settings

The success of PBIS in typical school settings has led to PBIS implementation in alternative settings, including disciplinary alternative day schools, residential mental health programs, and juvenile justice programs. In this webinar, we will introduce the FW-TFI (v0.2), and use this tool to guide our discussion of important considerations for PBIS planning and implementation in alternative settings. In addition, we will discuss considerations for effective PBIS coaching in alternative settings. Finally, we will discuss the importance of state and district PBIS teams including the full range of educational settings in district- and state-wide PBIS policies, plans, and activities.

Dr. Brenda Scheuermann holds a B.A. in Special Education from Illinois State University. There, she learned cutting-edge behavioral practices, grounded in behavioral theory, as applied to behavior and learning in students with severe behavioral and learning challenges.

Dr. Scheuermann also holds an M.A. and Ph.D. in Special Education from The University of Texas at Austin. Her areas of emphasis were emotional/behavioral disorders and autism, but also this is where she first began her work in juvenile justice. Dr. Scheuermann's dissertation research was conducted in the Corsicana State School, which housed youth who had committed felony offenses and who were diagnosed with mental health disorders. Since her early work in various juvenile justice facilities during the doctoral program, she have continued my focus on improving programming for the most disenfranchised youth of our society.

In 2018, Dr. Scheuermann was invited to join the national Center on Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports as the partner for alternative programs. As a Center partner, she provides technical assistance for all types of alternative programs, including secure care juvenile justice programs, residential mental health treatment programs, and alternative day schools. Dr. Scheuermann also develop training and support resources to guide PBIS development, implementation, and monitoring in alternative programs.
