This half-day session is the second part or the Social, Emotional, and Behavioral Tier 2 Interventions series. This video focuses on components of Tier 2 interventions that are needed after planning for intervention and initial implementation. Adaptations for fading and intensifying interventions, progress monitoring, measuring Tier 2 fidelity of practices and systems, and evaluating overall student outcomes will be discussed. Resources can be accessed on this Padlet: https://pattan.padlet.org/ctelleen1/social-emotional-and-behavioral-tier-2-interventions-evaluat-oics7gfg5odqmzv

This half-day training will introduce participants to the rationale for targeted, Tier 2 intervention to meet the social, emotional, behavioral needs of all students. We will cover how to identify students who are in need of Tier 2, how to pinpoint their area of need, match evidence-based intervention, and create a data-based intervention plan for each student needing Tier 2 supports.

No one likes attending meetings with an unclear purpose or course of action. Learn how the use of the Team-Initiated Problem Solving (TIPS II) model and meeting agenda will establish meetings with a clear, concise: agenda, rolls for all participants, data-based decision-making, precise problem statements, and action plans to make your Core Team meetings valuable and productive for students and staff.

Youth from across Pennsylvania are describing what they are doing to “Make it Happen” during their time in quarantine. Tips are shared from students as young as two years old, to seniors in high school. Ideas around academics, behavior and social-emotional strategies are noted.

This video highlights several high school students who are involved with the State Systemic Improvement Plan (SSIP) to increase graduation rates and decrease dropout rates. They share their challenges and how to overcome them in order graduate. In addition, they note their goals after graduation and a checklist is provided to guide and encourage students to stay on track in order to complete school.

The Bureau of Special Education is partnering with a number of LEAs to implement its State Systemic Improvement Plan. BSE is also partnering with the federally funded Community Parent Resource Center Hispanos Unidos para Niños Excepcionales (HUNE). Community and mentoring materials and resources developed through this partnership are being shared with other organizations. The Students Voices video showcases the program HUNE offers to ensure students stay in school, graduate, and become contributing members of society.

This session focuses on the implementation of interventions for students for whom Tier 1 practices are unsuccessful. A switch to systems-centered language in our communication around Tier 2 interventions is discussed. A variety of Tier 2 interventions that can be implemented to improve students′ social, emotional, and behavioral outcomes, including peer-mediated interventions are provided along with links to additional resources via the Padlet link below.

Successfully implementing a PBIS framework at the middle school level requires a comprehensive approach that addresses the unique developmental and behavioral needs of adolescents. This presentation will guide participants through a fully developed PBIS model that integrates student engagement, staff buy-in, data-driven decision-making, and family involvement—the often-overlooked key to sustaining positive behavioral outcomes. Our HERO (Honoring Safety, Embracing Responsibility, Respecting Everyone, Offering Help) staff will provide a step-by-step blueprint for implementing a PBIS framework within a Middle School while providing unique and meaningful ways to create staff, student, and community buy-in. We will lay out our successes that have proven to increase staff and student buy-in, as well as the pitfalls we learned to avoid or “fix” throughout our years of implementation. The data that supports these successes will be shared along with how it influenced our decision-making process through TIPS. The first area of focus, Staff Buy-In, will explain how our HERO PBIS staff introduce, train, and encourage staff to utilize our PBIS framework with fidelity. We will provide examples of these practices along with the data used to guide our decision-making process. This data incorporates staff surveys, PBIS app data, and SWIS data. In this section, we will also address how we disseminate the data and decisions we reach as a PBIS Tier I team to our whole staff. The second area of focus, Student Buy-In, will lay out how we introduce, teach, and recognize student successes and how these practices have affected our school culture as a whole. This area will also include information on how student teams have been used to help guide our decision-making as a staff, but also how they have helped build buy-in with their peers and families. Finally, we will highlight the ways we have encouraged families to participate and get involved in our school PBIS framework, whether that be in building or at home. This will focus on events that have successfully brought parents into the building in order to help them understand and utilize our PBIS framework within their homes to ensure the culture spans farther than simply the campus.

This session will highlight effective instructional practices that facilitate both responsible and respectful student behavior in the classroom. In particular, the importance of preventative classroom management practices will be highlighted with practical strategies shared throughout the workshop. The saying "the whole is worth more than the sum of its parts" really captures the essence of effective preventative classroom management. While there are a number of distinct strategies a teacher can employ in the classroom, the classroom climate is most influenced through the interactive effect of particular preventative procedures in tandem with efficient methods of early intervention with student inappropriate behavior.
