The window for taking the School Safety Survey (SSS), the School Climate Survey (SCS) and the Fall Tiered Fidelity Inventory (TFI) is from August 6 through September 14.
Beginning with the 2018-2019 school year, MO SW-PBS is giving teams the option of taking either the School Safety Survey (SSS) or the School Climate Survey (SCS). Either one will meet state recognition requirements.
The School Safety Survey (SSS) measures Risk Factors at a school and in the surrounding neighborhoods, and Safety Factors that the school implements to protect students. The survey is taken via a survey link that can be accessed by designated individuals at your school, or by your regional consultant. All stakeholders at the school are encouraged to take this survey. More information can be found at https://www.pbisapps.org/Pages/Default.aspx, or by contacting your regional consultant.
The School Climate Survey (SCS) is new. This survey gathers student perceptions of how safe and supportive they feel the school is for them. There is an elementary version for students in grades 3-5, and a secondary version for students in grades 6-12 (in elementary schools that serve students in grades k-6, 6th graders may also take the elementary version). This survey is taken via a survey link that can be accessed from PBIS Apps by specific individuals at the school, or by your regional consultant. The link can be emailed to all students who are taking the survey. More information can be found at https://www.pbisapps.org/Pages/Default.aspx, or by contacting your regional consultant.
The Tiered Fidelity Inventory (TFI) is typically taken in the spring of each year. However, schools that are just beginning either Tier 2 or Tier 3 training are encouraged to take the TFI in the Fall of their first year of training. In addition, any Tier 2 or Tier 3 team may take the TFI in the fall, if they wish to use the TFI for progress monitoring. Teams only take the tiered scale at which they have trained or are beginning training. This survey is taken by the team, and entered directly into PBIS Assessments by a designated team member with a PBIS Assessments account. A consultant can facilitate the team as they take the survey. In addition, teams are encouraged to have a consultant conduct a TFI walkthrough as part of the Tier 1 Scale of the TFI.
