SWIS Data Impacts school programming
Our district uses SWIS (School Wide Information System) data to inform decisions around individual behavior and overall school climate. SWIS was developed by researchers at the University of Oregon to support data-driven decision making regarding school behavior. Behavior referrals entered in SWIS provide a wealth of information to building-level teams. SWIS provides graphs about referrals building-wide, such as where behaviors are occurring, at what time of day and in what environment. This specificity allows teams to address school climate issues proactively, setting specific goals for improving the climate in targeted areas.
In addition, SWIS provides individual behavior reports. Intervention teams use an individual’s data to create proactive behavior plans and follow up by checking the data to verify whether or not a particular intervention is making a difference. The data informs the next step in moving a student toward success. . |
