Overview

Pennsylvania Community of Practice on School Based Behavioral Health

The Pennsylvania Community of Practice (CoP) on School Based Behavioral Health (SBBH) is

comprised of representatives from the Pennsylvania Departments of Education, Drug and Alcohol

Programs, and Human Services in addition to individuals representing youth serving provider agencies,

managed care organizations, advocates, and youth, and family members. Pennsylvania's CoP works

collaboratively to advance two shared strategies:

1) the scale-up of Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) in early childhood and

school-aged settings and

2) strategies by which to improve partnerships between county mental health service providers

and Pennsylvania's public schools and early childhood settings.

Specific to the scale-up of PBIS, the CoP has established a voluntary network of cross-sector partners

who affiliate under what is known as the Pennsylvania Positive Behavior Support (PAPBS) Network.

Pennsylvania Positive Behavior Support (PAPBS) Network

The mission of the PAPBS Network is to advance the development of behavioral health support systems

in early childhood and school-aged settings in order to promote the academic, social, and emotional well-

being of all Pennsylvania’s students. The Network’s goal is to ensure that all early childhood and school-

aged educators, families, and community members have access to training and technical assistance

necessary to assist learners in overcoming non-academic barriers to achievement.

The PAPBS Network is managed directly by members of Pennsylvania’s CoP on SBBH. The

management structure of the Network includes Co-Directors, State-Level Coordinators, and Regional

PAPBS Facilitators. Local PAPBS Facilitators do not hold state-wide managerial responsibilities for the

Network. However, Local Facilitators have responsibility for supporting the training and technical

assistance needs of those implementing PBIS in early childhood and school-aged settings. Throughout

this document, references to supporting early childhood settings are referred to as “program wide” while

references to supports in schools are referred to as “school wide”. Local Facilitators are key members of

the PAPBS Network and are essential to the scale-up of PBIS.

On-Boarding PAPBS Local Facilitators

The process of on-boarding Local Facilitators is crucial to the expansion of the PAPBS Network. Upon

acceptance into the Network, Local Facilitators are considered provisional until such time as they

complete the Network’s multi-step endorsement process. Provisional Local Facilitators must earn

independent status through endorsements on each of the following levels: Tier 1 (universal preventive),

Tier 2 (strategic intervention), and Tier 3 (intensive intervention). Local Facilitators are only considered

independent at the level(s) in which they have successfully completed the endorsement process and

remain provisional on levels in which their endorsements are not yet secured.

Revised 9/1/2017 3:03:00 PM 4

Thus, a Local Facilitator who is independent only on Tier 1 has the PAPBS Network’s

endorsement to provide training and technical assistance on universal prevention in child serving

programs or schools but is not yet endorsed by the Network to provide training and technical

assistance on strategic and intensive interventions. (See Appendix 4SW and 4PW for more

information on the Tier 1 endorsement process, there are separate requirements for Program-

Wide and School-Wide facilitators)

In part, it is the role of the PAPBS Network’s State Coordinators and Regional Facilitators to coordinate

opportunities that enable Local Facilitators to matriculate from provisional to independent status, thus

earning Network endorsements at all three tiers of prevention and intervention.

It is expected that individuals making application to the PAPBS Network as a provisional Local

Facilitator are committed to completing all three levels of endorsement: universal prevention, strategic

intervention, and intensive intervention. It is only necessary for individuals to complete the application

and be accepted into the Network one time. Once provisionally accepted as a Local Facilitator by the

Network, individuals are expected to achieve independent status across all three tiers of prevention and

intervention.

At present, there is not a statute of limitation associated with matriculation of provisional Local

Facilitators through the Network’s multi-step endorsement process. Local Facilitators achieving

independent status at any of the three tiers of prevention or intervention will receive a signed letter of

endorsement from the PAPBS Network’s Co-Directors, specifying the level(s) at which the facilitator is

deemed independent to provide training and technical assistance in child serving programs or schools.

Once endorsed on any of three tiers of prevention or intervention, the PAPBS Network expects Local

Facilitators to maintain fidelity of training and technical assistance as defined by the Network. Any

training or technical assistance provided by Local Facilitators in child serving programs or schools that is

not in compliance with the Network’s core training curriculum may trigger the revocation of the

Network’s endorsement. Revocation of the Network’s endorsement may necessitate the need for Local

Facilitators to repeat portions of the endorsement process or, depending on the severity of the issues,

could lead to dismissal from the Network. (Policy and guidance on such issues will be forthcoming from

the PA CoP on SBBH.)

Note: Disclaimer

Acceptance into the PAPBS Network is strictly voluntary and does not imply a contractual relationship

between the Local Facilitator and the Network. The PAPBS Network does not assume financial liability

for payment of services provided by Local Facilitators in any settings. Moreover, the PAPBS Network

does not assume liability for services provided by Local Facilitators in any settings.
