Supporting students receiving Emotional Support services and programs requires a team focused,multidisciplinary approach. This 3-day training series will highlight evidence-based practices in three key areas: Behavior Management, Academic Instruction and Support, and Social-Emotional Instruction and Support. On Day 1: Behavior Management, teams will explore strategies for prevention, intervention, and crisis de-escalation, with a focus on positive, proactive discipline for individuals and groups of students. On Day 2: Academic Instruction and Support, teams will learn about standards-aligned, effective instruction with modifications, adaptations, and accommodations in the least restrictive environment. On Day 3: Social-Emotional Instruction and Support, teams will examine the use of a variety of approaches and skills to meet the social and emotional needs of all students, with a focus on opportunities for practice, feedback, and generalization. Teams will use the QIESSP document to self-assess and action plan around each of the three areas.
