Suggestions for BIST Implementation

We have developed a list of best practices that will help you get the most from your BIST services:

  • learnWith your BIST consultant, assess your school’s needs to develop a plan along with goals for implementation, address areas such as Triage, Individual Plans, and expectations for use of the BIST Model

  • Administrators should attend BIST classes and consultation meetings

  • Develop a BIST Leadership/Vision Team

  • Maintain integrity by sending school personnel to Basic BIST training

  • BIST Vision/Leadership Team should attend Advanced BIST annually, including administration.

  • Consultant should be used on a minimum of once a month

  • Implement a Recovery Room ONLY after the entire staff is proficient in the BIST model.

  • Train staff in a large or small group setting on a regular basis (monthly).

  • Train staff in class meetings

  • Provide BIST materials to your staff

Success in Wichita

As a new principal to a building where behavior was out of control, BIST was just what the doctor ordered!! We implemented BIST as a whole building and it made a world of difference. The key was total buy in from the staff. The whole school atmosphere is totally different. It went from being a sad place where no one wanted to be, to a very happy place where everyone wants to be!!
