The efficient and effective collection and use of data is key to successful implementation of SW-PBS. Data is used to make important decisions that target adult actions to address student needs. It is used to monitor student outcomes and implementation. Finally, data is used to help schools “tell their story,” thereby promoting their efforts and the positive outcomes achieved for their students.

MO SW-PBS has developed a set of free Tier 1 Data Tools to assist schools in developing a system for ongoing monitoring.

Tool Description
2023-2024 MO SW-PBS Data Collection Schedule
Schedule for data submissions for the current school year
Student Outcome Data
This worksheet provides prompts to assist teams to collect data around student outcomes. In May, Missouri SW-PBS teams will receive a link to upload this data into the Online Data System. This data is data not collected by MO DESE, and is used to monitor the impact of SW-PBS on students.

This document was designed by regional consultants to help schools clarify for staff the questions from the SAS 4.0, and where evidence to support their answers might be found in their school
Tool Description
MSIP-6 Compliant Valid School Climate Surveys
This document contains forced copy links to Google forms that take each of the National Center on PBIS validated School Climate Surveys (SCS) and modify them to meet new MO DESE MSIP-6 requirements around school climate. The Middle/High School SCS, the Personnel SCS, and the Family SCS were all modified to meet MO DESE MSIP-6 Climate Survey Criteria. The Elementary SCS has also been added to the Google Forms, but otherwise has not been appreciably modified from the Elementary SCS on PBISAssessments.

Use the following four Excel based reporting tools to extract actionable data from these climate surveys.

Elementary SCS Reporting Tool
School Climate Survey Reporting Tool that corresponds with the validated National Center on PBIS School Climate Survey for Elementary Students (the elementary version did not require adaptations to be MSIP-6 Compliant)
Middle & High School SCS Reporting Tool
School Climate Survey Reporting Tool that corresponds with the validated National Center on PBIS School Climate Survey for Middle and High School Students, with additional questions to address MSIP-6 School Climate Survey Requirements
Family SCS Reporting Tool
School Climate Survey Reporting Tool that corresponds with the validated National Center on PBIS School Climate Survey for Families, with additional questions to address MO DESE MSIP-6 School Climate Survey Requirements
Personnel SCS Reporting Tool
School Climate Survey Reporting Tool that corresponds with the validated National Center on PBIS School Climate Survey for School Personnel, with additional questions to address MO DESE MSIP-6 School Climate Survey Requirements
Instructional Video
Instructional video to help you set up School Climate Survey forms, google sheets, and excel reporting tools

Note: The National Center on PBIS School Climate Surveys (and, therefore, the climate surveys modified to be MSIP-6 compliant) include demographic questions related to sexual orientation and gender identity that some may find objectionable. The surveys are completely anonymous, and only present data in the aggregate. The purpose of these questions are to monitor the school climate experienced by all students, staff, and family members, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. These questions include the option  “I prefer not to respond.” Furthermore, while we think it is important to ensure a positive school environment for all students, these options may be removed from the surveys.
