About Us

The School-Wide Information System (SWIS) is a web-based information system designed by research faculty and staff at the University of Oregon. SWIS was developed in response to school team and administrator requests for efficient and effective data entry and report generation of on-site office discipline referral information. The original authors of SWIS include Seth May, William Ard III, Anne W. Todd, Robert H. Horner, George Sugai, Aaron Glasgow, and Jeffrey R. Sprague. SWIS authors began working with administrators and school teams in 1993 to respond to the need for a graphic illustration of their office discipline referral patterns and trends

Relationship of SWIS with other organizations

SWIS was developed and is operated at the University of Oregon by Educational and Community Supports (ECS) faculty and staff. ECS is a research unit focused on the development and implementation of practices that result in positive, durable and scientifically substantiated changes in the lives of individuals with disabilities and their families. Members of the unit secure federal and state funding that targets research, teaching, and practice to create new knowledge, guarantee dissemination, and provide technical assistance to benefit individuals and organizations at the local, state, and national levels.
