This session will focus on the journey of Barrett Elementary over the past 6 years of SWPBIS implementation with a focus on how the core team maintains momentum through effective distribution of assignments. They will review core team meeting strategies, note taking, member roles, and daily operations of a functional team.

We had questions…What do we do with our screening data? What evidence based programs should we use? Who can help us implement these programs? We will share the answers that we found to help meet the needs of our students and strive to integrate with the mental health system.

Participants will leave with a checklist to take back to their schools to improve blending efforts.

This session will preview a model for developing and implementing systems to support teachers’ implementation of classroom PBIS.

The Literacy Toolkit is a training series consisting of a progressive sequence of interactive webinars focused on expanding the instructional interventions used to promote the literacy achievement of students who are deaf or hard of hearing. Presentations in the training series will focus on how to plan and implement instructional interventions based on student learning needs and evidenced-based assessments (norm-referenced, criterion-referenced, and progress monitoring). Instructional delivery “techniques” and implementation “tips and tricks” will be discussed. Additionally, a set of intervention resources, materials, weblinks, and e-learning applications will be assembled for each topic to assist with implementation.
