A. Administration
Administration
Required ➢ Brief (under 10 minutes, easy to administer & score)
Feature ➢ Standardized administration
➢ Can be administered in a large group or individual format
Evidence to Efficiency:
Provide Provide details on the length of time it will take a student,
parent or teacher, on average, to: 1) complete the screener
2) diagnostic assessments and 3) progress monitoring
Provide clarification on how many students can test at one

time and whether or not that influences the time required to
test.
Provide additional information if the length of time for both the

screener and diagnostics differ by grade level (K-12).
If your system does not meet the District’s preference on length

of time, provide information as to why and whether students can
be screened or take the diagnostic over multiple test sessions.
The BIMAS-2 is a nationally standardized test requiring a teacher to be familiar with a

student for at least 4 to 6 weeks prior to rating his/her behavior. Directions on how to
complete the test and how to rate a behavior based on frequency is offered at the start
of each administration.
There are no limits on how many students can be rated at the same time. When
anticipating large groups, Edumetrisis, IT department is monitoring the
processing/computing demands of our Amazon servers and make the proper
adjustments. Scheduling the test depends entirely on the schools.
Teachers can complete the BIMAS-2 standard form (34 items) in no more than 2
minutes (max) per student. All teachers who are to complete the Universal
Assessment/screening are assigned a BIMAS-2 account. Upon activating their account,
Teachers will see two options on their BIMAS-2 screen. Universal Assessment and
Progress Monitoring.
If a universal screening
window is open, pressing
on the icon with the blue
tablet will take them to the
actual class roster.
If pressing in the Progress

Monitoring button, they
will be able to see all of
their classroom’s students
who are on a progress
monitoring behavior plan,
students that the teacher
has agreed to be a
rater/provide feedback. The time needed to complete a Progress Monitoring plan
depends on the number of the items included in the plan as well as the time it takes a
rater/teacher to provide/type qualitative data for each behavior rated.
Once a teacher logs into the platform with their own secure credentials (user ID and
personalized password), and selects the active Universal Assessment testing window,
they will be able to see the students assigned to them. (see Figure below).
When a student is selected, the rater is automatically presented with a student’s

BIMAS-2 Standard Form (see Figure below).
Upon completion of the
rating the student’s record is
scored automatically
At the same time, an aggregate

report is generated for the entire
class across the BIMAS-2 five
constructs/scales. The summary
report updates its numerical
values (percentages of students)
along with a color graphic
scheme across all 5 scales as
more student ratings are completed.
The BIMAS-2 can be administered multiple times per year.

The user (typically a person with district access level), in consultation with the MTSS
team can set up as many universal assessment/screening (UA) periods as a user desires
throughout the year. We recommend a minimum of three times a year, at the beginning
of the school year (as long as the teacher/rater is familiar with the student for at least 4
to 6 weeks), somewhere in the middle of the school year (mid-February) and towards
the end of the school year (May or June).
The figures below illustrate the ease of this process. The first figure presents a summary
of this hypothetical school’s existing UAs.
When selecting to create a new UA window, , the user names the

testing window (i.e Fall 2017),
determines the dates of the testing,
and then decides whether parents
or students will be invited in the
Universal Assessment process. The
BIMAS-2 license for a student
allows all ratings to be completed
by all possible raters with no
additional cost. Students can
complete the self-rating if they are
12 yrs and older.

➢ Allows analysis of health Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3
Evidence to Provide What resources are included to aid educators in instructional
planning to meet the needs of students identified at-risk? How are
the data from the screener, diagnostic, and progress monitoring
reports useful in selecting and planning evidence - based
interventions? If intervention resources are available are those
designed for small groups, individuals, etc.?
If there is an intervention component please state whether research

has been conducted on effects of the intervention component, and if
so, report the results of those studies, including:
A. A description of recruitment of students into the

intervention. If a comparison group was used, please describe
formation of intervention and comparison groups. Include evidence
of baseline equivalence between intervention and comparison group
if appropriate
B. The time period(s) of the intervention. If a comparison group
was used, indicate time period(s) of treatment of each intervention
and comparison groups.
C. The total number of students in the study, as well as
demographic information including percentage of free or reduced-
price lunch students, students with an IEP/504 plan, ELLs, etc.
Key Skills:
Describe how the screener and diagnostic assessments measure the
indicated SEL competencies at each grade level and tier assessed.
The BIMAS-2 assesses social emotional and behavioral functioning in children ages 5 to 18yrs
old and seamlessly integrates Universal Assessment/screening and Progress Monitoring data
across all MTSS Tiers. Once logged in and depending on the access level given, a BIMAS-2 user
can provide student ratings, generate reports for groups and/or individual students.
The BIMAS-2 utilizes 34 change sensitive items which are organized in two major areas;
Behavior concerns and Adaptive Skills. Further the items are grouped to operationalize CASEL’s
5 SEL competency areas.
The Figure below represents the beginning of data analysis with the BIMAS-2. It allows an
analysis of Tier I data following a universal screening period.
The BIMAS-2 is not a diagnostic test and it does not include an intervention component. Instead the
user is referred to the Resources section of the platform as well as to a website where additional
information is available on evidence based practices.
Key Skills:
Describe how the screener and diagnostic assessments measure the indicated SEL competencies at each
grade level and tier assessed
Please see section C – Psychometrics. On the validity section we are discussing the connection of the
BIMAS-2 with CASEL and SEL.

Analyzed by psychometrician for reliability and validity

Results of the reliability analyses revealed that the BIMAS forms have good levels of internal
consistency, with Cronbach’s Alpha Values from the total sample ranging from .81 to .91 on the BIMAS–
T, from .77 to .90 on the BIMAS–P, and from .75 to .88 on the BIMAS–SR. Good levels of temporal
stability (test-retest reliability) were found when the BIMAS was taken twice within a 2 to 4 week period
(without any intervention), with correlation coefficients (Pearson’s r) ranging from .85 to .91 on the
BIMAS–T, from .79 to .96 on the BIMAS–P, and from .81 to .90 on the BIMAS–SR (all rs significant, p <
.001). A good level of consistency between raters (i.e., teacher and self-report; parent and self-report;
teacher and parent) were found on ratings of the same child with Pearson’s r ranging from .54 to .86
across all scales (all rs significant, p < .001).
Reliability: Internal Consistency
Internal consistency estimates (based on Cronbach’s Alpha) for the BIMAS were computed on a
weighted sample comprising 85% normative cases and 15% clinical cases. For the internal consistency
analyses, clinical cases were added to the normative sample to ensure an adequate level of variability in
the data and to reflect real-world applications where there is a mix of youth with and without clinical
diagnoses. Tables 10.1 to 10.3 present Cronbach’s Alpha Values for this final weighted sample. The
BIMAS–T, BIMAS–P, and BIMAS–SR were all found to demonstrate high levels of internal consistency for
the majority of the scales. Specifically, for the total samples, BIMAS–T alpha values ranged from .81 to
.91, BIMAS–P values ranged from .77 to .90, and BIMAS–SR values ranged from .75 to .88.
Reliability: Test-Retest reliability evidence
Test-retest reliability refers to the correlation of scores obtained from two separate administrations for
the same youth by the same rater over a specified period of time. This type of reliability was assessed
over a 2 to 4 week interval by obtaining T-score correlations for the BIMAS with a sample of 112
teachers, 83 parents, and 53 youth who completed the BIMAS twice (no interventions took place
between the Time 1 and Time 2 administrations; see Table 10.7 for demographic characteristics of the
test-retest samples). The correlations, as well as the means and standard deviations from Time 1 and
Time 2 administrations are provided in Tables 10.8 to 10.10. Across the three forms, r ranged from .79
to .96 (all p < .001), indicating that the BIMAS has high test-retest reliability.
Reliability: Consistency between Raters
Because the BIMAS–T, BIMAS–P, and BIMAS–SR measure similar constructs, a degree of consistency is
expected across rater types. The level of consistency was assessed by correlating scores from the
different raters. Although some degree of similarity is expected between raters, it is nonetheless
expected that a certain degree of incongruence will exist (i.e., the correlations should be moderate in
size). This incongruence occurs because the various raters may have different opinions about, and
different experiences with, the youth’s behavior. This incongruence can also occur because the raters
see the youth in different contexts. A sample of 162 youth who provided self-report ratings were also
rated by a teacher and a parent (see Table 10.12 for a sample description). Correlation coefficients
(Pearson’s r) were calculated between each pair of raters (see Tables 10.13 to 10.15). As anticipated, the
correlations were found to be moderate in size (all p < .001) for the teacher to self-report comparisons (r
= .54 to .69) and the parent to self-report comparisons (r = .59 to .69). A great deal of consistency was
found between teacher and parent ratings, with strong correlations between the two rater types on all
scales (r = .79 to .86).
Validity – BIMAS & SEL: The claims made by BIMAS and the empirical evidence
The validity of a test refers to the quality of inferences that can be made by the test’s scores. That is,
how well does the test measure the construct(s) it was designed to measure, and how well are the
claims regarding its use and applications supported by empirical evidence?
The development of the BIMAS-2 within the validity framework:
We began our work on the BIMAS around 2000 wishing to develop a scale that captures the effects of
individual or group and system wide interventions. We were seeking to develop a tool that would
include change sensitive items to detect change (parallel to CBM measures with academics). We
wanted, however, a tool that is independent to a particular curricula or intervention, a tool to capture
broad behaviors that research has shown to affect a person’s overall behavioral health.
While traditional research on outcome studies concentrated on the effectiveness of psychotherapeutic

treatments, research studies began to appear about the concept of emotional intelligence while a group
of researchers also began to publish their work on system-wide interventions that we now call social
emotional learning (SEL). In the last few years we have seen numerous frameworks that have been
created, along with many names and acronyms in this area, all recognizing the importance of these “soft
skills”. The one framework that has gained most of the attention, however, is the work of the CASEL
organization (CASEL: Collaborative for Academic, Social and Emotional Leaning, 2011).
Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) is the process through which children and adults acquire and
effectively apply the knowledge, attitudes, and skills necessary to understand and manage emotions, set
and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive
relationships, and make responsible decisions (CASEL: Collaborative for Academic, Social and Emotional
Leaning, 2011). CASEL/SEL have identified core competencies that are important for student success
which include:
• Self-Awareness
• Self-Management
• Responsible Decision-Making
• Social Awareness
• Social Relationships
How can schools support students’ SEL?
• SEL programming fosters students’ social-emotional development through establishing safe,

caring, learning environments involving peer and family initiatives, improving classroom
management, teaching practices, and whole-school community building activities.
• CASEL recommends that schools promote SEL through comprehensive, systemic school wide
approaches to SEL. This approach is consistent with a multi-tiered system of support framework.
Schools may choose from a variety of strategies, including building positive behavioral
interventions and supports, direct instruction in social and emotional skills, classroom routines
and structures which build community, or a combination of these approaches.
How does SEL instruction influence student outcomes?
• Students’ development of strong SEL skills increases the likelihood of academic & behavioral
success throughout their education.
• These competencies are believed to provide a foundation for improved student adjustment
and academic performance resulting in an increase in positive social behaviors, fewer
conduct problems, less emotional distress, improved test scores and grades.
• SEL programming has also been shown to positively impact student college and career
trajectories
How is SEL measured?

This has been one of the greatest challenges in SEL. In fact, CASEL has formed an interest group
whose mission is to explore this area. Annual competitions with innovative ideas have resulted in
creative works. CASEL's Assessment Work Group this year encouraged researchers to move beyond
the ways that behavior and attitudes are typically measured - through teacher, student and
sometimes parent reports. They encouraged direct assessment of social-emotional competencies
through actual student performances involving strategies, simulations, game-based applications
and performance tasks (Jacobson, 2017). However, “After this first challenge, the group concluded
that most of the assessments developed so far focus on self-regulation and would be difficult to
implement on a large-scale basis. More work is needed, they say, to create direct assessments that
reflect a shared and coherent understanding of what SEL is, that assess multiple components of SEL,
and that are practically useful for educators." (Jacobson, 2017). As most of these ideas focus on
specific skills, they do not appear to be used on a large-scale basis” (Jacobson, 2017).
Measuring the 5 CASEL/SEL competencies with the BIMAS-2

The BIMAS-2 recognizes the challenge of developing items that target these 5 SEL skills as these
skills can be found in many aspects of one’s life and behavior(s). Perhaps this is also the reason that
no tool (research or commercially available) provide information in their technical manual of the
traditional statistical procedures we are accustomed to see in test development. In most cases the
best rationale offered are claims that the scales of their tools are based on scientific research
studies conducted by the author or that are conceptually derived, rationally derived, etc. All will
eventually be able to assist group or individual competencies.
In our approach to measuring SEL we have taken a slightly different route. We examined the
research on the impact areas (behaviors) noted in the professional literature and found that SEL
programming resulted in verifiable outcomes including: academic performance, antisocial and
aggressive behavior, depressive symptoms, drug use, mental health problem behaviors, and
positive youth development. We then looked at the BIMAS-2 scales and connected the 34 behaviors
we measure with the 5 BIMAS-2 scales and their SEL related outcomes. The table below
demonstrates the link between the BIMAS-2 scales and their outcomes.
 Specifically, the BIMAS-2 measures these common outcomes as follows:

BIMAS-2 Composites SEL Outcome Assessed
Concern Scales Concerns Assessed
Conduct Anti-social/aggressive behaviors, drug use, mental health problems
Negative Affect Depressive/ anxious symptoms, suicidal thoughts, mental health
problems
Cognitive/Attention Inattention, atypical thought, mental health problems
Adaptive Scales Adaptive Behaviors Assessed
Social/Communication Sharing, expressing one’s self, friendship, positive youth development
Academic Functioning Academic development, responsibility, organization/planning, positive
youth development
To cross validate the connection of what is being measured by the BIMAS-2 scale and how the
BIMAS-2 can measure the impact of SEL programming we examined the data generated and
presented in professional conferences by one of our customers (Boston Public Schools-
Comprehensive Behavior Health Model).
In their model of Comprehensive Behavior Health

Services, Boston Public schools has incorporated SEL
(Second Step) and PBIS curricula in their schools and
the BIMAS-2 as their Universal screening and progress
monitoring outcome measure.
Following the implementation of more than 5 years of

work, they have been monitoring the impact of their
SEL efforts with the BIMAS-2 scales.
Below are some illustrations showing the impact of SEL programming using the BIMAS as the
outcome measure.
Impact of SEL programming in Boston Public Schools is summarized by the illustrations of the effect
size below:
With recent report on children’s increase
in depression, anxieties, fears, suicides,
etc., the implication of Social Emotional
Learning skills is becoming a necessity. SEL
programming is paying off as is illustrated
below:
Research has long recognized the

importance of social skills, with both
parents and teachers recognizing it as
one of the most important skills they
desire their children to acquire in school
and throughout life. The illustration
below clearly demonstrates the SEL
programming is paying off:
The impact is also shown in the indirect
measurement of academic skills:
How does the BIMAS-2 assess student outcomes across important settings?
The BIMAS-2 allows the collection of data across settings from multiple informants. The BIMAS-2
Standard has forms available for teachers, parents, clinicians, and a self-version for students 12 and
over. The BIMAS-2 Flex option can be used to customize assessments with any of these raters at
any age to track the development of key social competencies and/or important developmental
outcomes.
The BIMAS-Flex feature allows in the assessment/progress monitoring process, the incorporation of
the BIMAS-2 nationally normed items as well as other items that a school might want to assess (see
examples below) under content validity.
Content validity
The content validity evidence of the BIMAS has an extensive history. It began with early studies by
Meier (1997, 1998, 2000, 2004) that included the examination of the relationships of specific items
to external criteria (see Meier, 2000), further item/content reviews by the authors, and feedback by
colleagues working in public schools and community mental health centers. These efforts resulted
in a pool of items that were pilot tested in small scale studies. Following these earlier studies (e.g.,
Lerew, 2004) and reviews of the literature, a set of items were developed and proposed to
represent behaviors that can be classified into 5 categories as shown in the Table below. In order
to provide empirical support for the scale structure, a series of confirmatory factor analyses (CFAs)
was conducted on the normative and clinical samples.
The scales and their representative items are also shown below:
Many of these behaviors are affected by

school wide intervention programs such
as PBIS or SEL curricula. The positive
impact of these curricula will be missed if
one attempts to narrow the assessment
with items or behaviors that are too
specific to intervention and/or ignore a
curriculum’s impact in other areas.
Measure of ODRs, for example,

promoted by the PBIS literature as a
measure of their program effectiveness
has been criticized for its narrow view of
progress/impact.
One might argue that from a face validity

sake of argument, the BIMAS
Socialization scale (see below) might be
mostly aligned to the CASEL SEL
competencies. But if one only considers just that scale or a tool that is targeted to social skills alone, it
might not do justice to all other positive impacts one could have observed in the other areas as a result
of implementing an SEL curriculum.
We believe the BIMAS offers a more comprehensive picture of the positive impact of SEL curricula as it
assesses behaviors that have been correlated to success in school and in life. These behaviors and their
assessment will help pinpoint and target where interventions and their success need to be celebrated
and also might need to be intensified as they might not be sufficient enough across all Tiers of services.
The tables below provide a list of items by scale for all BIMAS Standard rater forms. The items by scale
are identical across teacher, parent, and self-report forms (except that items on the self-report form are
written in the first-person voice). Clinician form items are listed separately (the item “attended his/her
scheduled therapy appointments” appears only on the clinician-completed form, and the Academic
Functioning scale [with the exception of the item “followed directions”] is excluded from this form).
Reverse scored items are noted with an (R).
Raw scores from each of the scales are transformed to standard scores (T-scores with a mean of 50 and
Sd=10). Student performance is also described in classification terms and in colored coded schemes
throughout of all the reports. (see below).

BIMAS and SEL scales
Using a conceptually-derived, rationally derived approach we have also aligned the BIMAS-2 items to the
SEL 5 competencies areas (see illustrations below). A report specific to these constructs is under
development and expected to be available with our new release (Mid December 2018).
In addition to the 5 BIMAS scales, the user will be able to create a report across the 5 CASEL areas. The
illustrations below demonstrate the structure and alignment of the items.

All the students with a school district email account can access the BIMAS-2 platform through an
internet browser. Student emails are imported during the Student Import process but also manually on
as needed basis. The student can use either the keyboard and/or a touch screen devise to select their
options. We do not recommend the use of smartphones, however, tablets are appropriate (either
Android or Apple platforms). All of the touch screen options have been incorporated with the redesign
of the BIMAS-2 second edition and have been trouble free since January 2016. Our only, but very few,
issues have occurred with users not having the latest version of Microsoft’s Internet Explorer. This has
not been reported as an issue in 2018 by any of our users as of today.
The student Universal Screening rating process
The process of notifying students about the rating is as follows: Once the periods of a universal
assessment window are determined, the BIMAS-2 building administrator can provide notifications to the
students to begin the rating.
In the Email notification section, the administrator selects the user type (in this case student), selects the
entire district or a specific building then presses [Send Emails]. The BIMAS-2 platform begins the
notification process which can be monitored.
Monitors
emails sent
The students receive the following email with a link (see below).
Selecting the link takes the student straight to the rating form.
…….
……
……
At the end of the survey, the student submits the rating and the platform logs them out automatically.
Does the system support assessment of students with mild, moderate, and significant intellectual
disabilities? Please explain.
The BIMAS-2 included a small sample of 30 students with developmental delays (DD) (see Table below
for all clinical samples used) in the norming and validation with our 1,355 students’ clinical sample(s).
However, this small sample of 30 students was only assessed with BIMAS-2 using the Teacher rating
form. This sample was used as part of our accuracy correct classification analysis.
Does the program provide assessments in multiple languages; if so, which languages?
The BIMAS-2 can be administered in both English and Spanish through the platform. Paper versions of
these forms are also available at the website www.bimas2resources.com and can be downloaded free of
cost. When data are collected through paper forms the user has the option to enter the information
manually. This applies to both parent, teacher and self-forms.
A BIMAS-2 Parent standard form in Chinese will also be available by mid-November 2018. Additional
languages can be added to the website on an as needed basis.
Sources of bias are eliminated by including the most representative norm sample.
The BIMAS normative samples include 1,400 ratings from teachers on the BIMAS–Teacher (BIMAS–T),
1,400 ratings from parents on the BIMAS–Parent (BIMAS–P), and 700 ratings from adolescents on the
BIMAS–Self-Report (BIMAS–SR).
Teacher Normative Sample (BIMAS–T)
Teachers completed the BIMAS–T for a normative sample of 1,400 youth. All of the teachers had known
the students they were rating for at least 1 month (specifically, the duration of teacher to student
familiarity, in months, was: 1–3 = 7.5%,4–6 = 23.6%, 7–11 = 44.4%, ≥ 12 = 23.7%; this data was missing
for 0.7% of teachers), thereby meeting the minimum acquaintance requirement for completing the
BIMAS. The normative sample included ratings of 50 males and 50 females at each age (from 5 through
18 years) and was stratified on race/ethnicity and geographic region. The collected data was very similar
to the U.S. Census in terms of race/ethnicity; however, some discrepancies existed between the actual
collected data and Census targets for geographic region. To address these discrepancies, the sample was
weighted through statistical procedures so that the weighted sample closely matched the U.S. Census
statistics both in terms of race/ethnicity (see Table 9.1) and geographic region distribution (see Table
9.2).
Parent Normative Sample (BIMAS–P)
The BIMAS–P rating form was completed for a normative sample of 1,400 children and adolescents. The
majority (n = 1,116; 79.7%) of the BIMAS–P normative sample comprised assessments completed by the
youth’s biological mother, while the remaining assessments were completed by the youth’s biological
father (n = 164; 11.7%) or by other significant adults (including non-biological parents and other
relatives; n = 120; 8.5%). The 1,400 rated youth included 50 males and 50 females at each age (for ages
5 through 18 years) and was stratified on race/ethnicity, parental education level and geographic region.
While race/ethnicity very closely matched the Census targets, a similar statistical weighting procedure
described in the Teacher normative sample section was applied to the BIMAS–P sample to correct for
discrepancies in PEL and region. The resulting weighted sample therefore closely matched the U.S.
Census statistics in terms of race/ethnicity (see Table 9.3), Parental Education Level (see Table 9.4), and
geographic region distribution (see Table 9.5).
Self Normative Sample (BIMAS–S)
The BIMAS–SR normative sample consisted of 700 youth aged 12 to 18 years old (350 males, 350
females, 100 youth in each age group by year). Table 9.6 describes the sample’s racial/ethnic
distribution, which very closely approximated the U.S. Census. A similar weighting statistical procedure
was applied to the BIMAS–SR sample so that the normative sample regional representation would be a
close match to U.S. Census data (see Table 9.7).
In order to further the sensitivity of our data when examining classification rates, we made an effort to
represent various race and ethnic groups in our clinical samples as well. The following tables describe
the composition of the samples.

REPORTING FEATURES:
The BIMAS-2 offers real-time data reporting on student progress. Once data have been completed for a
student, (by any rater) scoring and reporting is immediately available whether this is a universal
screening or progress monitoring. The BIMAS-2 produces a variety of scores and user-friendly reports
that can be used to inform decisions at a group or individual student level. The reports are tailored for
and are accessible by classroom teachers who are conducting the universal screening, building principals
and district-level staff. Reporting is provided at the student-level classroom-level, school-level, and
District-level information relative to student progress toward mastery.
For example, the Figure below shows a report generated following a universal screening period. The
report can be generated for all school, certain schools and filtered for certain grades. Upon the selection
of the filtering variable, the report is dynamically generated on the screen and can be saved with the
EXPORT as a PDF option.
Classroom reports can be generated by the teacher who performed the universal screening for his or
her own class or by the account administrator as shown in the Figure below. Once again, data filtering
options are available.
And each classroom report finishes with a summary report.
From this same screen, an administrator can also generate comparative reports between schools that
further facilitate the assessment of resources that might be needed in schools. For example, when
students transfer from one level (Elementary) to another (Middle School).
From the Reports menu option (see Figure below) a school administrator can generate comparative
reports across various UA screening periods. Please note all the filtering options.
A teacher who completes the universal screening for his/her class can also generate a report for her
class with a list of students and a summary across the 5 BIMAS and SEL scale (coming up in mid-
December 2018) scores.
All data are maintained in the server for longitudinal reports. Data are deleted only upon the request of
the school district.
Reports are generated in English only, they include minimal text and utilize color schemes to
communicate findings.
Share all categorical labels of aggregating SEL skills (i.e. self-awareness, self-regulation) in a
report format without using diagnostic labels (i.e., anxiety, depression, etc.).
This report will be available mid-December 2018 and will include standard scores and performance
similar to the report on the BIMAS-2 Behavior Concerns and Adaptive skills areas.
F. Sustainability
Sustainability
Required Feature ➢ Fiscally sustainable over time
Evidence to Provide What, if any, adjustments do you plan to make to your system
within the next 5 years and how might that affect the cost of a
future contract for the District?
Edumetrisis has been growing as a company with a rate of over 40% annually. Some of our
clients include large school districts (Boston Public Schools, Providence Public schools, Duval
County, FL and the State of Hawaii). In addition we have numerous smaller size school districts
ranging from 500 to 5000 students as clients. We pride ourselves on our efficiency in making
quick decisions that relate to the improvements suggested by our clients as well as our
exceptional customer service. We anticipate to keep growing in the next 5 years with
improvements to the BIMAS and a list of other products that relate to behavior assessments.
There are a few additions that are in the works for the BIMAS-2.
CASEL REPORTS: We are currently in the programming stage and in mid-December, 2018 we
will be adding additional reports to the platform. The reports involve a reorganization of the 34
items to reflect the CASEL 5 competency areas as part of the Universal Assessment Screening
Reports. The format and functionality will be consistent to the present BIMAS-2 summary
report.
CASEL IN PROGRESS MONITORING: In the BIMAS FLEX under Progress Monitoring users will
have the option to build Progress Monitoring reports using the CASEL item structure
BIMAS-2 PreK In the early Spring of 2019 we will be adding a preschool version, the BIMAS-2
PreK. The scale is organized in a similar manner offering both the three behavior concerns, the
two adaptive and the SEL/CASEL scales.
There will be no costs added to the above features/additions.
APPS to connect with the BIMAS-2 platform. Some of our customers have expressed a wish to
see the BIMAS-2 platform as the driving force for their MTSS/SEL initiatives and requested
having the ability to store additional behavior data within an individual student behavior record
in the BIMAS-2 platform. This might include behavior data for those receiving services at Tier III
levels, a check-in check-out system for students in Tier II. We are also exploring the possibility
of adding the functionality of an app for behavior observations where the data are synched into
the BIMAS-2 account for each student.
We have not determined the additional cost of these two features as of today.
Research: We continue our own research efforts and support the research of others. Currently
all researchers and graduate students can utilize the research version of the BIMAS-2 servers
free of cost.

Training for the implementation of the Universal Screener includes:
• A preliminary meeting with key district personnel (including the IT department) which
includes a demonstration of the platform.
• Training of key individuals responsible for the monitoring of the Universal Screening at each
building.
• A brief needs assessment to determine the best format of professional development
depending on district needs. The authors and publisher of the BIMAS-2 will be available for
such professional development meetings.
• There will be no cost for the pilot. If awarded the bid for the implementation in the first year,
there will be no additional costs. The publisher commits to at least four face to face meetings
per academic year at no cost to the district.
(2) Demonstrate the effectiveness of your professional development and customer service supports.
Provide references, testimonials, customer service wait times, and any results of customer/client
satisfaction surveys.
Workshop participant feedback and customer support in over 50 presentations in state and national
conferences has been extremely positive for both Dr. McDougal and Dr. Bardos (co-authors of the
BIMAS). In most cases, feedback has been collected over the years by the state associations and
workshop organizers. Unfortunately, we did not save some of the shared feedback. Although we have
not maintained a database with such feedback, we are including a couple of reference letters (see
item XX). All individuals are willing to provide feedback on all aspects of our professional relationship.
Additional names can be provided as well to evaluate our customer support and responsiveness. Our
internal statistics for IT questions shows that there has been no concern or issue that has not been
resolved immediately or within 3 hours.
Our technical support information is readily available on the platform through phone, email and
videoconferencing (screen share).
Additional Resources are available on an additional supportive platform website:
www.bimas2resources.com
(3) Describe how your professional development provides knowledge about what the screener and
diagnostic results tells teachers and how to appropriately interpret the results for intervention
purposes.
In our professional trainings we utilize a case study approach and walk our participants through the
various stages of data interpretation across the MTSS Tiers. These materials are adjusted depending on
the district audience.
(4) Describe any available professional development on Progress Monitoring - what measures to use
when, with whom, and how to use the data to make changes in instruction for the students who need
additional supports.
The BIMAS-2 seamlessly integrates Universal Assessment and Progress Monitoring (PM). Progress
Monitoring, however, takes a variety of roles and functions within the BIMAS platform. Perhaps the
best way to illustrate the comprehensiveness and flexibility of the BIMAS-2 for progress monitoring
will be to organize its functions according to an MTSS framework. At Tier I the BIMAS-2 progress
monitoring functions utilize Universal Screening data. At Tiers -II and III, the BIMAS-2 builds various
progress monitoring plans utilizing both its normative data, as well as its unique, unparallel to no
other commercially available, programs.
MTSS TIER I: PROGRESS MONITORING DATA.
UA SCREENING ACTIVE MONITORING: During the active Universal Screening period, the building’s
Universal Screening contact person can monitor dynamically the progress of the screening process
across all raters, teachers, students and parents (depending on who has been assigned to do the
screening).
UA SCREENING – CRITICAL ITEM REPORT: In response to a growing trend at the National level (see Oct
16th, 2018) report, we have decided to add another Universal Screening Monitoring feature in the
BIMAS-2 platform.
Rise of Mental-Health Needs
The tragedy in Chaffey Joint Union represents the most extreme manifestation of a growing
problem in schools: the rise of mental-health needs among students.
An estimated 32 percent of adolescents have an anxiety disorder, according to the National
Institute of Mental Health. Twelve percent of youth between the ages of 12 and 17 say they have
experienced one major depressive episode in the past year, according to the U.S. Department of
Health & Human Services.
The suicide rate among teenagers has been steadily on the rise since 2007. It's gone up 30
percent among 15- to 19-year-old boys and doubled among girls, according to data from the
federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It's the second leading cause of death in that
age group.
A critical item report is a “live” report. During the Universal Assessment period the building
administrator can monitor the rating of students on the Negative Affect and item 24: a self-harm
item. A summary email of this report is also being emailed at the end of the day to each school
personnel connected with the UA screening and/or to all mental health personnel and school
administrators.
PROGRESS MONITORING ACROSS UA PERIODS: Using UA screening data, the BIMAS-2 platform allows
the comparison of UA data across periods of time. Data can be displayed by school, teacher and
across all of the BIMAS scale scores for individual students (see below)
and in aggregate form (see next figure).

TIER II and TIER III PROGRESS MONITORING
The BIMAS-2 allows for both TIER II and Tier III (group or individual) unlimited monitoring plans. There
are numerous plans that can be built within the interface. The BIMAS-2 maintains all of these in each
student’s behavioral folder even if the monitoring plan was a group one.
The next few pages illustrate the type of plans mentioned above.
Plan A. Uses the BIMAS-2 Standard Form only. In the example/illustration below, the Progress Monitor
Plan has a starting date, an ending date, and in between the standard form (34 items) are used to gather
progress monitoring data for an intervention. The frequency and number of raters is determined (like in
all cases) by the IEP or behavior assessment team. The BIMAS-2 allows an unlimited number of raters to
contribute to all the plans that can be built by the platform.
All other plans presented below are part of what BIMAS-2 is referring to as FLEX-plans. BIMAS-2 Flex
Monitoring Plans could include (a) the Standard Form, individual items from the Standard Form,
elaborations of the Standard Form items created by the authors, and of course, your very own
items/behaviors that you wish to monitor as part of the plan. Below are some illustrations of FLEX-plans.
Plan B. This plan begins with a pretest using the BIMAS-2 Standard Form and ends with a post-test
administration of a Standard Form. In between the behavior plan, includes some items that relate to
conduct-related behaviors, some for Negative Affect, which are to be collected at various
predetermined points. Conduct and Negative Affect items/behaviors are selected here for
demonstration purposes. More items/behaviors can be added either with a positive or negative valance,
depending on what the behavior team, an IEP or an intervention is calling for.
Plan C. This plan is similar to Plan B but does not use a pretest. Instead begins with flexible
items/behaviors administered at different times and ends with the administration of a Standard Form.
PLAN D. Plan D can be built with all custom items.
How the BIMAS-2 Progress Monitoring interface works.
Selecting the Progress Monitoring option on the menu screen, the item brings the user to a screen
where they can view the currently active plans, create new plans and view the library of archived plans
they have created. Active or archived plans can be duplicated if they fit the needs of a new student’s
behavior plans or services at the Tier II or Tier III level.
< Space left intentionally blank >

When building a plan (illustrated in the figure below) the user can set up the duration, frequency, and
the raters that will be involved, whether the plan utilizes the BIMAS standard form or a Flex plan.
(5) Also include information on professional development for educators on how to relate pertinent
information to parents from the screening, diagnostic and progress monitoring components of the
program, as well as intervention purposes.
We provide schools with a sample letter in a template format and utilize the mail-merge capabilities to
send the letters to parents. These letters include, scores, parent friendly descriptions of the constructs,
their implications and resources. In most cases, that we are aware, the schools have taken this
responsibility in-house but our services to generate this report are available to all at no additional cost.
(6) Provide detailed information on the format of the available professional development (in-person,
online, webinars, etc.)
Webinars have been the most effective and cost-efficient means for professional development as far as
using the BIMAS-2. In person trainings usually are scheduled before and after a Universal Screening
period and are available once the school district SEL team and Edumetrisis determine the needs (see

Support for the BIMAS-2 implementation in the pilot and subsequently at a larger scale, if awarded the
bid, will include three levels. The sequence or support will be determined by Waco Public schools and
will include: (a) Orientation to Social Emotional Learning within a Comprehensive Behavior Health
Services model (b) Training on the BIMAS-2 platform and (c) utilization and interpretation of screening
data.
(A) SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING AND COMPREHENSIVE BEHAVIOR HEALTH SERVICES: In this part of
the training the publisher will convene the authors of the BIMAS-2 and/or consultant(s) to present (face
to face, day long training) on Social Emotional Learning within an MTSS system of service delivery. This
component will be refined between Edumetrisis and Waco Public Schools SEL Leadership committee as
we are not aware of the work that has already been accomplished by the school district.
(B) TECHNICAL LEVEL: The technical level support relates to the web-based platform. Edumetrisis will
support a pilot study for the 2018-2019 school year at no cost to the district and will include all technical
supports. We will follow the exact steps during the pilot stage as if this was a full implementation.
For example, upon signing of the DATA SHARING AGREEMENT (see Appendix) Edumetrisis’ IT
department will communicate with the school’s IT department and request three CSV files to be
delivered through a secure means so that we can upload the data.
The data files consist of:

(a) SET UP SCHOOLS: This step establishes the school names and key contacts in each school. The screen
below Illustrates the information needed to manually build the background of the school while the
figure that follows is a screenshot of the excel-type file we use to import all district buildings.
(b) SET UP STAFF: Next the BIMAS-2 platform requires that we set up the staff members. This can be
done manually (as the figure below illustrates)
or through an import as shown in the figure that follows.

At the Staff level input window, we also determine the various access levels that individuals can have in
the platform. This translates to access in performing certain tasks such as adding a new student,
teacher, parent, moving students from one classroom to another, manually entering data if needed and
developing Progress Monitoring Plans for students who might be receiving services in Tier II or Tier III
behavior interventions. Brief video clips on how to perform most of these actions exist along with other
resources in www.bimas2resources.com
(C) SET UP STUDENTS: The final step in setting up the BIMAS-2 involves the importing of student
records. This can also be accomplished manually or through a mass import file. The figure below
illustrates the data needed for an individual student record. It includes a variety of background
information for each student so that the report can be generated thereafter. However, to build the
student database only a few variables are needed as illustrated in the import file below.
For an import of many students the following file is required to be uploaded in the BIMAS-2 platform.
(B) UTILIZATION OF DATA: Depending on the need expressed by the school for professional
development in the implementation of comprehensive behavior health services and /or utilization of the
screening data, Edumetrisis will offer the needed support with consultants (i.e mental health
consultants who have implemented Comprehensive Behavior Health Services (CBHS) (i.e Boston Public
Schools) at the start of the BIMAS-2 implementation and assistance throughout the implementation by
the authors of the BIMAS-2. At the district’s wish, data interpretation can go beyond the information
generated by the BIMAS-2 alone. It can include various statistical analyses that the schools’ SEL,
committee along with Edumetrisis, determines appropriate, as well as the generation of reports needed,
for a successful implementation and utilization of the existing data. This level of support will be
determined by the school district’s resources and the wish to utilize the publisher’s resources.
Levels (A), (B) and (C) will occur at no expense to the district.
J. Other Considerations:
1. Provide details on the development of your assessment program including the length of
time it has been in use. Please explain any ongoing work the Vendor is doing to refine the
existing components of the system, refresh the item pool, build new components, etc.
Edumetrisis, LLC is a publisher of web-based behavioral assessment tools. Three years ago,
and after a history of 30 years as an author of psychological and educational tests, Dr.
Bardos, founded Edumetrisis as he, along with the authors of our flagship product, the
Behavior Intervention Monitoring Assessment System felt that traditional powerhouses in
the publishing world were extremely difficult to move forward and adopt new technologies
or adopt quickly and efficiently the feedback given by their customers.
It was 1997 when the three authors of the BIMAS got together from different perspectives
and training, yet with one goal, to develop an instrument that can be used as a preventing
tool by conducting universal screenings in schools and, also to monitor the effectiveness of
behavior interventions and create an accountable environment for the services offered. At
that time, other than our philosophical beliefs we had no allies to support our work in the
private industry, an industry interested primarily in diagnostic not screening/prevention
tools.
Edumetrisis, LLC and its team is comprised by authors, consultants and technology partners
that bring many years of experience and offer through their innovative ideas solutions to
practical problems of the field. Each one separately and collectively is considered an
assessment expert in their respective fields. The vision and mission of the new company is
to offer innovative tools and consultation services, bringing into practice the latest research
available in the field, supporting schools in their efforts to support their students.
Technology is changing the world of educational and psychological assessment. We have

embraced it by being in the forefront of these innovations. We have a partnership with a
young software development company which consist of very experienced individuals
(Woodridge Software- in Golden Colorado) that has built amazing products in the field of
Education and assist us with exceptional customer support. (see Appendix for brief vitas of
our team)
We continue to refine the BIMAS interface, now in its second edition by adding features
that improve its usability as a software tool but more importantly use technology to quickly
and efficiently inform and support our users in their journey of helping children and their
families.
We have an exciting growth plan and development initiatives. We are:
• expanding the age group covered by the BIMAS to preschool ages
• adding SEL reporting features.
• Creating apps to synch additional data with the platform (check in/check out)
• Behavior Observation tools
• In three to four years we will begin research studies to assess the need for updating
the norms of the BIMAS, perhaps with some new items
2. What technological infrastructure is necessary for your assessment to be administered
effectively on a large scale (internet bandwidth, whether a local caching server is necessary,
etc.)? How will you address the needs of the District if there are issues?
Our platform is running efficiently and even with many clients logging in and performing
multiple tasks, it has rarely exceeded 20% of its capacity.
3. Please indicate whether you will provide anonymous digital access to Vendor’s solution
for the designated District staff as part of the proposal evaluation process.
Yes, details will have to be arranged with the IT group.

Organization to a third-party with the prior written approval of the District, in accordance with this
Agreement or in compliance with FERPA and its regulations.
E. Coordination with Partner Organization Authorized Representative(s). During the term of this
Agreement, Partner Organization will fully coordinate all of its services provided hereunder with the
District through its designated authorized representative.
1. The authorized representative signatory below has authority to bind Partner Organization to
the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
2. The authorized representative signatory shall also be responsible for requiring Partner
Organization personnel and other authorized representatives of Partner Organization accessing
information from District records to execute affidavits of nondisclosure or other documentation indicating
that each person will be held accountable for the proper management, use and protection of all
information and records provided to him or her.

approval to use the data for another or different purpose.
5. Upon termination, cancellation, expiration or other conclusion of this Agreement, Partner
Organization shall return all personally identifiable student information to the District or, if return is not
feasible, destroy any and all such information. Partner may destroy the information when it is no longer

termination, cancellation, expiration or other conclusion of this Agreement. Partner Organization shall
confirm the date that any information was returned or destroyed by delivering to the District the
certificate attached hereto.
G. Reporting of Unauthorized Disclosures of Data and Information.
1. Partner Organization shall, within five business days of discovery, report to the District any
use or disclosure of information not authorized by this Agreement or in writing by the District (a “Breach”).
Partner Organization’s written report shall identify (i) the nature of the breach, (ii) what information was
used or disclosed, (iii) who or what was the cause of the breach, (iv) what Partner Organization has done
or shall do to mitigate any deleterious effect of the breach, and (v) what corrective action Partner

Organization, if, in its sole discretion, determines it is not possible to repair or correct the discovered
breach. Under either option described in paragraphs 1 or 2, above, the District agrees to provide written
notice Partner Organization.
H. Remedies, Penalties. The failure to comply with the requirements of FERPA could subject Partner
Organization and any third party to all allowable penalties assessable against Partner Organization under
state and federal law. Partner Organization acknowledges and agrees that due to the unique nature of
the Information, there may be no adequate remedy at law for any breach of its obligations hereunder,
that any such breach will result in irreparable harm to the District, and therefore, that upon any such
breach or threatened breach, the District shall be entitled to seek appropriate equitable relief including
specific performance and any additional remedies the law may allow, including injunctive relief. In the

representatives who (i) require access in the course of their assigned duties and responsibilities in
connection with this Agreement, and (ii) have been informed of the provisions set forth in this Section.

apply to any material or information that (i) is or becomes a part of the public domain through no act or
omission by the receiving party, (ii) is independently developed by employees of the receiving party
without use or reference to the Proprietary Information of the other party, (iii) is disclosed to the receiving
party by a third party that, to the receiving party’s knowledge, was not bound by a confidentiality

relating to Partner Organization’s or any of Partner Organization’s employees, agents, contractors, or
representatives unauthorized use, misuse, or illegal use of District Information or De-identified
Information or any breach of this Agreement by Partner Organization. The District and any indemnified
party shall cooperate and comply with the reasonable requests of Partner Organization in connection with
the defense of any such claim. The receipt or providing such assistance is not a waiver of any alleged
breach nor does the acceptance of such assistance constitute a waiver of any such breach by the District.
Partner Organization shall control the defense and settlement of any such claim.
