“…Schools within districts were likely present, yet the models did not account for the nested structure of the data. Kim (2019) conducted a CFA of the TFI using the three-factor structure, with each factor representing a different SWPBIS tier. Unlike Massar et al (2019), Kim (2019) controlled for the nested structure of schools within districts, finding acceptable model fit for the three-factor model.…”

Unlike Massar et al (2019), Kim (2019) controlled for the nested structure of schools within districts, finding acceptable model fit for the three-factor model. However, Kim did not use individual indicators to model the latent factor structure but instead used a subscale score as the observed indicator in the model.…”

“…An advantage to this approach is that the latent factor reduces measurement error and allows estimates of more complex relationships (e.g., higher order latent factors; Kline, 2015). Kim (2019) conducted a series of analyses using the Tier 1 latent factor and modeling the relation between Tier 1 fidelity and different school outcomes, controlling for covariates, including locale and percentage of students receiving free and reduced-price lunch. Tier 1 was significantly negatively correlated with ODR rates and risk differences in ODRs for Black and non-Black students in elementary schools.…”

“…None of the prior TFI psychometric studies controlled for state variation. Furthermore, only Kim (2019) controlled for the nesting of schools within districts, yet they did not model individual items and relied on a single-factor structure (three-factor model). Last, the test developers or their students at the same university conducted all prior validation studies.…”

School-wide positive behavior interventions and supports (SWPBIS) is widely implemented across the United States. Evidence suggests that SWPBIS, when implemented with fidelity, has a significant and positive impact on schools, including lower suspensions and higher reading and mathematics achievement. A critical component of this research is measuring fidelity of SWPBIS implementation in schools. In this study, we re-evaluated the reliability and validity of a widely used fidelity tool, the Tiered Fidelity Inventory (TFI), within a single-state sample. Using data from 693 schools in California, we found a hierarchical factor structure based on subscales and tiers fit the data best when controlling for the multilevel nature of the data; however, there was no relation between the latent fidelity variables and changes in suspensions. Implications of these results are discussed, including different approaches to scoring and conceptualizing fidelity of implementation for SWPBIS, along with considerations for future research using the TFI.

The purpose of this study is to review the fidelity measures in school-wide positive behavioral interventions and supports; SWPBIS) with an emphasis on their instrumental characteristics and contents. A total of eight instruments, both domestically and internationally developed, were chosen and reviewed in terms of the purpose, the methods of assessment, the criterion scores on adequacy, the composition, and the accessibility. Also, through the in-depth investigation of the item contents (from 258 items), core and sub-elements were identified, and all relevant items within a specific core element were reviewed according to three dimensions including exposure of the intervention, quality of the intervention providers, and responsiveness of the intervention recipients. As a result, the fidelity measures in the universal behavioral supports are used in a school or research and provide multiple functions (e.g. school teams’ use for the regular implementation monitoring, survey of school faculty and staff’s perception) with varied assessment methods. To enhance the user’s understanding, most measures serve different types of information (e.g., measurement, scoring, utilization methods) and materials (e.g., data collection form, action plan form) in addition to the rating scales and are open to the public at no cost through relevant websites or research publications. Also, the review of the item contents found 10 core elements(e.g., defining and teaching the expected behaviors) and 60 sub-elements (e.g., defining the expectations and rules in a clear and positive manner), and those elements were measured evenly in all three dimensions. In the end, the study provided several implications regarding the further development and utilization of fidelity measures in universal behavioral supports.
