The PaPBS Network recognition system annually identifies and publicly distinguishes Pennsylvania’s Program Wide (PW) and School Wide (SW) sites for successful implementation of PBIS. Each fall, PBIS sites across the commonwealth submit an application in order to be considered for recognition, based on the following criteria: • In good standing of the PaPBS Network, • Supported by a PaPBS Network Facilitator, and • Submitted 2017-2018 annual data as required by the PaPBS Network program evaluator. There are four categories of recognition for which schools and programs can apply. The following requirements are based on the type of recognition sought by the applicant: Universal (Tier 1) Initial Implementation With Fidelity Fidelity of implementation criteria includes: • A score of 70 percent or above on the Benchmarks of Quality (BoQ),* • Submitted 2017-2018 annual data as required by the PaPBS Network, and • A score of 80/80 or above on the Preschool-Wide Evaluation Tool (PreSET)** or the School-Wide Evaluation Tool (SET).*** Universal (Tier 1) Sustained Implementation With Fidelity For PW and SW sites that have been recognized for implementation fidelity the previous school year and have applied to be recognized for continued fidelity of implementation at the Universal (Tier 1) level. Fidelity of implementation criteria includes: • Recognized for implementation fidelity during 2017-2018 school year, • Submitted 2017-2018 annual data as required by the PaPBS Network, and • Received a score of 80 percent or above on the BoQ for the 2017-2018 school year. 4 Universal (Tier 1) and Targeted (Tier 2) Implementation With Fidelity For PW and SW sites that have been previously recognized for Implementation of Universal (Tier 1) level with fidelity and have applied to be recognized for continued implementation with fidelity at the Universal (Tier 1) level and also Targeted (Tier 2) level. Fidelity of program implementation criteria includes: • Recognized during the 2017-2018 school year for fidelity of program implementation at Tier 1 or Tier 1-Sustaining, • Earned a score of 80 percent or above on the BoQ for the 2017-2018 school year, • Submitted 2017-2018 annual data as required by the program evaluator, and • Earned a score of 80 percent or above for Tier 1 and Tier 2 of the Tiered Fidelity Inventory (TFI)**** and a Tier 1 walk-through tool was com- pleted by their PaPBS Facilitator. Implementation Fidelity at Tiers 1, 2, and 3 This is for PW and SW sites that have been previously recognized for implementa- tion of Universal (Tier 1) level with fidelity and have applied to be recognized for continued implementation fidelity at the Universal (Tier 1) level, Targeted (Tier 2) level, and the Intensive (Tier 3) level. Fidelity of program implementation criteria includes: • Recognized during the 2017-2018 school year for Tier 1 or Tier 1-Sustaining, • Earned a score of 80 percent or above on the BoQ for the 2017-2018 school year, • Submitted 2017-2018 annual data as required by the PaPBS Network, and • Earned a score of 80 percent or above on Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 of the Tiered Fidelity Inventory (TFI) and a Tier 1 walk-through tool was completed by their PaPBS Facilitator. Fidelity Measures: * Benchmarks of Quality The Benchmarks of Quality (BoQ) are used by teams to evaluate the status of program wide and school wide PBIS supports. The BoQ provides a way to assess and identify areas of strength and need for establishing future action plans for sustained implementation. Continued . 5 ** Preschool-Wide Evaluation Tool (PreSET) This assessment is used to measure program-wide implementation of the universal level of positive behavior interventions and support (PBIS) in early childhood settings. *** School-Wide Evaluation Tool (SET) The School-Wide Evaluation Tool (SET) is designed to assess and evaluate the critical features of school wide behavior support. The SET results are used to evaluate the current status of School Wide Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (SWPBIS) and to assist school teams to strengthen school wide behavior supports. Benefits of collecting and using the PreSET and the SET: • Provides an “outside” perspective of your building’s PBIS implementation efforts, • Provides objective data regarding implementation efforts through the use of a research-validated instrument, and • Requires collection or observation of evidence of PBIS implementation. **** SWPBIS Tiered Fidelity Inventory The SWPBIS Tiered Fidelity Inventory (SWPBIS TFI) is a fidelity measure to determine the extent to which programs and school staff are applying the core features of school wide PBIS in all three tiers. The SWPBIS TFI can be used over time to guide both implementation efforts and sustained use of program wide and school wide behavioral interventions and supports. 6 Schools and Programs That Earned Universal (Tier1) Initial Implementation With Fidelity Western Region West Allegheny School District West Allegheny Middle School Armstrong School District Dayton Elementary School Central Region Shannock Valley Elementary School Altoona Area School District Beaver Area School District Mowrie A.

  • Per House by Name As Well As by Accomplishment. Such, However, Is 1840 to 1851, His Length of Service Being Unsurpassed by A
    DANIEL STURGEON, A STUDY IN OBSCURITY GEORGE ROADMAN1 nrfjxB Constitution of the United States has provided for only two JL senators from each state, a factor which ought to attract more than the average amount of public attention for those who have made the grade. A state as large and politically important as Pennsylvania should be able, by virtue of this fact alone, to list its representatives in the up- per house by name as well as by accomplishment. Such, however, is not the case, for in the long listof senators who served inthe nineteenth century, few attained any degree of national prominence and then only as a President, political boss, or member of a Presidential cabinet. The reasons for the well-known and lamentable obscurity of Penn- sylvania senators are many and varied, and are quite often explainable only as a result of rather complete studies of the lives of those involved. One of these unknowns, Daniel Sturgeon of Uniontown, is worth con- sidering because he combined the factors of long service in state and national public life with an almost total obscurity as far as the pages of history are concerned. 2 From 1818 to 1858, Sturgeon pursued a politi- cal career that began with his election to the state house of representa- tives, took him to the state senate in 1826, made him speaker of the senate in 1828, saw him appointed auditor general under Governor George Wolf in 1830, elected him state treasurer in 1836, and finally carried him into the United States Senate where he remained from 1840 to 1851, his length of service being unsurpassed by a Pennsylva- nian until Don Cameron's twenty years of service from 1877 to 1897.

    SCHOOL SEGREGATION IN NINETEENTH-CENTURY PENNSYLVANIA BY EDWARD J. PRICE, JR. 7HE Pennsylvania Abolition Act of 1780 provided for the gradual Xabolition of slavery as well as the elimination of discriminatory laws, but it did not provide the black citizens of the commonwealth with equality. The general acceptance by whites of the concept of black inferiority and the fear of racial amalgamation or misce- genation led to segregation and discrimination in the social, political, and economic spheres of life. Blacks did not quietly accept these conditions. ' They labored to improve their status by es- tablishing various self-help organizations. Many considered educa- tional activities to. be the most important part of the self-help program since they saw education as a panacea for the problems facing the race. Blacks have traditionally viewed education as a means of im- proving their condition in society. Their great faith in education was manifested in various ways. Leading black men established schools, formed literary societies, and urged others to take advantage of these institutions. Even though groups of philanthropic whites such as the Quakers established schools for the basic education of blacks, groups such as the African Methodist Episcopal Church also founded schools. Members of the black intelligentsia joined together to form literary societies which provided libraries and a forum for the ex- change of ideas on topics of interest. During the ante-bellum period nine of these organizations were established in Philadelphia, and the black community in Pittsburgh supported two literary societies. Furthermore, state and national conventions of black men, which were held frequently prior to 1860, urged black people to improve The author received his Ph.D.

  • P Who Argue That American Politics in the Jacksonian Era Re- Flected Few Basic Social Or Economic Cleavages in the Electorate
    PENNSYLVANIA POLITICS IN THE JACKSONIAN PERIOD: A CASE STUDY, NORTHAMPTON COUNTY, 1824-1844 BY WILLLAm G. SHADE* P ENNSYLVANIA has stood as the classic example for those P who argue that American politics in the Jacksonian era re- flected few basic social or economic cleavages in the electorate. Henry Mueller's study of the Whig party presented a traditional economic interpretation of partisan activity associating the Whigs with commerce, manufacturing and wealth in general.' However, subsequent examination of working class voting and the general complexity of the state's politics tended to discredit this view.2 Today most students of the state's politics during this period probably agree with Richard McCormick: Like New York, Pennsylvania was a large and hetero- geneous state with a multiplicity of religious and na- tional groups and with definable geographic sections. Unlike New York, however, its politics rarely reflects religious, national or sectional cleavages.3 Yet evidence of the importance of religious and ethno-cultural factors on nineteenth century voting behavior has appeared which indicates that forces similar to those structuring New York politics were at work in Pennsylvania. 4 This article focuses on *The author is an Associate Professor of History at Lehigh University.

March into Oblivion: A Footnote Abstract In the above-titled work in 2006, this writer briefly discussed the possibility that President George Washington traversed present Adams County in October 1794, during his return from Bedford to Philadelphia, a belief long and widely held locally. No credible assertion of the President's presence here in 1794 was possible at that time. Recently however, a forgotten narrative was "rediscovered"; its author, Jacob Eyster, gives some substance to the previous mere speculation. After extensive research, this writer was graciously requested to produce a sequel to his prior speculative writing.
