Summer Institute 2013BEST
Summer Institute 2013This strand is designed for school leadership teams that have begun to implement Tier II systems, data and practices to assist students who need additional social, emotional, behavioral supports
Howard Muscott and Eric Mann
School Leadership Teams will have the opportunity to formally assess their current PBIS targeted systems, practices, and use of data while developing action plans to enhance these efforts. At the conclusion of the 4-morning series participants will have:
• Examined the effectiveness of their Tier II system of student support teaming structure
• Assessed the fidelity, and outcomes of their implementation of “check in and check out” or “teacher check and connect and expect”;
• Considered Universal Screening for the early identification of students in need of Tier II supports including teacher nomination, behavioral indicators, and systematic screening;
• Developed Team-based strategies for blending academic, social, emotional and behavioral data to determine risk and activate tier two referrals;
• Finalized a process for when and how to conduct team based functional behavior assessments and create behavior intervention plans;
• Reviewed other evidenced based tier ll interventions
All pre-registered participants will receive a survey prior to the institute for the purpose of finalizing the strand content so that it is responsive to participant identified needs.
Check back around May 15th for pre-readings
