A simple data collection form to measure child engagement and challenging behavior within a routine.
The Behavior Incident Report System (BIRS) provides early care and education programs and classrooms with a system to collect and analyze behavior incidents in their program. The system provides an efficient mechanism for gathering information on elements related to behavior incidents that can be used analytically to make decisions about providing supports to teachers and children within the program. Teachers within programs collect data on behavior incidents that are not developmentally normative or are a cause of concern to the teacher. These data are summarized monthly to provide formative data for examining factors related to behavior incidents (child, teacher, activity, behavior type, behavior motivation, and responses to the behavior). In addition, these data provide summative information on the frequency of behavior incidents over time and an analysis of potential equity issue by calculating disproportionality related to race, ethnicity, IEP status, gender, and dual language learners.
The BIRS Readiness Checklist identifies the components needed to ensure that a program is prepared for BIRS implementation.
The State Benchmarks of Quality is used by a collaborative State Leadership Team (SLT) to assess progress and plan future actions so that Pyramid Model practices are available for providers and families statewide. The Benchmarks are grounded in the science of implementation which bridges the gap between an evidence-based practice (EBP) and the actual high-fidelity implementation of that practice. For a form and spreadsheet that is not Pyramid Model specific, please refer to this page: http://ectacenter.org/sig/boq.asp.

The Early Childhood Program-Wide PBS Benchmarks of Quality (Program BoQ) is designed to help programs evaluate their progress toward implementing the Pyramid Model program-wide. The tool was revised in 2017 to include critical elements to address issues related to equity and culturally responsive practices. The tool and spreadsheet used for analysis are provided.

A log for practitioner coaches to use to track time, strategies, and practice-based coaching cycles provided to early intervention practitioners.
The Early Intervention Pyramid Practice Fidelity Instrument (EIPPFI) is used to assess the implementation of Pyramid Model practices by early interventionists in the coaching of family caregivers. EIPPFI practices are aligned with the Division for Early Childhood Recommended Practices and the Principles of Early Intervention. EIPPFI organizes practices within six practice categories: 1) Building Partnerships with Families; 2) Social Emotional Development; 3) Family-centered Coaching; 4) Dyadic Relationships; 5) Children with Challenging Behavior; and 6) Social Emotional Assessment.

The excel spreadsheet shows the teachers’ progress with implementation.
You might also want to develop a way to help the teacher with implementation fidelity. Check out this approach to using a data-based system for tracking implementation fidelity. The process involves identifying all the plan steps and then taking data on implementation.

The Community-Wide Benchmarks of Quality (CW-BoQ) Excel workbook is used to enter and summarize CW-BoQ data.
The Community-Wide Benchmarks of Quality (CW-BoQ) was developed to provide Community Leadership Teams (CLT) with a tool to identify the critical elements for implementing the Pyramid Model for Promoting the Social and Emotional Competence of Infants and Young Children within early childhood education and care programs across the community. This tool might be used by a regional entity that has oversight for early childhood education programs in an area (e.g., county, service district), by a school district or Head Start grantee that has classrooms across multiple schools and programs, or by a community-level cross-sector team that has been formed to implement and scale-up Pyramid Model implementation.
This is a checklist that will help you with the implementation of the behavior support plan development process.
An assigned person from the leadership team is asked to report, on a monthly basis, a frequency count of important actions taken in the program in response to serious challenging behavior, including: a) calls to families about problem behaviors, b) dismissal from program, c) transfer within program, d) requests for outside assistance, and e) scheduled family conferences around problem behavior. The form that can be used to track action and a spread sheet to generate graphs to display your data are provided below.
