32. Successfully Running a School Store and Activity Day Rewards in the Middle School Setting The Middle School Student can be one of the most difficult to reward for expected behavior. Join us to learn how out school successfully initiated a school store, school-wide raffles and regularly scheduled grade-level incentives. Learn how we tailored our reward system to address the interests and needs of our culturally diverse student body in order to enhance buy-in and unity among our expected behaviors.

Too Important To Fail: Implementing Literacy Instruction Changes During the Pandemic During this session participants will be engaged in a discussion regarding the changes made in the instruction of reading by the Northgate School District during the pandemic. Information will be shared regarding the Pennsylvania Dyslexia Pilot and how this was critical in moving these efforts forward. The critical aspects of the change process will be shared and pitfalls will be discussed.

Oh my, it’s been a year! Checking in on the program’s climate and culture. The program’s climate is a notion that may affect behaviors, attitudes, and well-being in organizational life as well as explain why some programs are more productive, effective, innovative, and successful. Let’s take a dive into the components of the Early Childhood Self-Assessment Survey and reflect on how this tool is currently being used. During this session, participants will explore the Early Childhood Self-Assessment Survey and learn how to use this data to inform their program’s goals.

We are presenting the challenges and successes of 3 schools in the School District of Philadelphia in implementing Tier 2 systems, and specifically the Check-In, Check-Out intervention.

Wescosville Elementary School will share how effective feedback to change behavior is a critical component in a Multi-Tiered System of Support. Specifically, this session will provide the nuts and bolts of establishing a powerful system of recognition. The team will also share the challenges and successes of maintaining the value of their SOAR tickets and how it is one component in the overall implementation of SWPBIS.

This presentation includes (a) an explanation why polysyllabic word reading is difficult based on reading science and (b) easy-to-implement research-based strategies to help students read those long words using information about syllables and morphemes.

As PBIS coaches, access to multiple data sources is almost always at our fingertips but often, still too far from reach to have an observable impact when we do not take deliberate steps to using it in meaningful ways. Fidelity tools, screeners, surveys, and ODRs all inform the implementation of a well-rounded PBIS Framework, but how do we get the biggest return on investment in the most efficient manner possible? Let’s start by employing better practices. The Team Initiated Problem Solving (TIPS) meeting format equips coaches and teams with a meeting model that is time conscientious, and data driven. This session will provide participants with the opportunity to overlay multiple data points to better inform conversations that support improved implementation of School-Wide PBIS.

The skilled reader builds this mental model by intertwining background knowledge with the semantics, syntax, structure of the text. Inference plays a critical role in integrating and constructing this representation at successive levels of understanding including the meaning of words, sentences and what is implied in the text. Let’s explore inference, its multiple contributions to comprehension and related instructional implications and applications.

Lionville Elementary shares the ingredients used to create a multi-tiered system of support using a collaborative pre-referral/referral process. Using several case studies, the team will describe the steps taken to achieve each level of tiered support.

Two schools in Bellefonte Area School District are working with Pattan Coaches to implement Positive Classroom Behavior Support Plans. We will present and share our journey in starting this process.
