Teacher Education Program Curriculum
The content in the Curriculum Training modules is designed to provide educators with information across a variety of topics shown to be important in supporting middle school students. Middle school is an important time in a child’s education and intervention at this point can positively impact student trajectory toward later high-school graduation. As such, the Curriculum Training provides a framework for the Early Warning System and how to use the key data to direct interventions to support middle school students, especially those with emotional/behavioral concerns.
The Curriculum Training comprises 9 core modules (shown below), which provide evidence-based information on the framework and intervention areas. Each module contains a voice-over presentation, an information sheet, and additional resources. The modules may be completed sequentially or independently.
