SET - School-Wide Evaluation Tool
The School-wide Evaluation Tool (SET) is designed to assess and evaluate the critical features of school-wide effective behavior support across each academic school year. The SET results are used to:
- assess features that are in place,
- determine annual goals for school-wide effective behavior support,
- evaluate on-going efforts toward school-wide behavior support,
- design and revise procedures as needed, and
- compare efforts toward school-wide effective behavior support from year to year.
Information necessary for this assessment tool is gathered through multiple sources including review of permanent products, observations, and staff (minimum of 10) and student (minimum of 15) interviews or surveys. There are multiple steps for gathering all of the necessary information. The first step is to identify someone at the school as the contact person. This person will be asked to collect several identified products and to identify a time for the SET data collector to preview the products and set up observations and interview/survey opportunities. The SET process takes an average two to three hours.
Using SET Results
The results of the SET will provide schools with a measure of the proportion of features that are 1) not targeted or started, 2) in the planning phase, and 3) in the implementation/ maintenance phases of development toward a systems approach to school-wide effective behavior support. The SET is designed to provide trend lines of improvement and sustainability over time.
