2023 Safe and Supportive Learning Environments: Prevention Before the Crisis Summit
01. De-escalating Student Behavior Starts with Systems Work
Session Dates
Wednesday August 16, 2023 9:45 AM - 11:00 AM - PaTTAN - CENTRAL
Closed
Disruptive and dangerous student behaviors interfere with learning, negatively impact school climate and culture, and may lead to more restrictive discipline or alternative placements. Schools often address this challenge through reactive practices, rather than through prevention and integration within their existing multi-tiered social-emotional-behavioral framework. Most importantly, desired and sustainable outcomes require systemic change brought about by attending to foundational responsibilities of the leadership team. Learn how regions and schools have supported their staff competencies and student skills by aligning initiatives, policy, training, coaching, and evaluation within PBIS.
