The School-Wide Information System (SWIS) is a web-based software system for collecting and summarizing office discipline referrals in schools. SWIS was developed by University of Oregon faculty in collaboration with elementary, middle (junior high) and high school personnel. The purpose of SWIS is to provide schools with accurate, efficient, practical information for decision-making about school-wide discipline. SWIS was developed to be an efficient, reliable and confidential strategy for managing office-discipline referral information. SWIS can be used for:
a. Internal decision-making as schools improve their discipline practices
b. Support plan design with individual students and their families
c. Reporting to district, state and federal agencies about school outcomes
d. As a method of collecting aggregated data across schools

SWIS & SWIS-CICO
Prerequisite: Completed the SWIS and/or SWIS-CICO readiness steps and license agreement with your technical assistance coordinator.
Description: The School-Wide Information System (SWIS) is a web-based decision system designed to help school/facility personnel improve the behavior support in schools and other educational facilities by providing school personnel with accurate, timely, and practical information for making decisions that lead to better outcomes for students, staff, and families.
SWIS provides schools/facilities with a practical process for helping teams make decisions about the design and management of school-wide behavior support systems, targeted interventions, and/or individual behavior support systems. It allows users to collect ongoing information about discipline events. The resulting behavior data can be instantly accessed in tables, reports, and graphs allowing for teams to easily monitor and analyze behavior trends at the school-wide, small group, and individual levels.
