This session covers updates to the SBAP Handbook from the last version which was issued in 2022. This session is recommended for any staff who oversee SBAP operations within their LEA, as well as any LEAs which are new or returning to participation.

This session presents a study examining the effectiveness, implementation, and acceptability of an explicit, systematic mathematics vocabulary intervention implemented by teachers. Thirty secondary students with learning difficulties and disabilities were randomly assigned to treatment and control conditions. Results indicate the intervention was effective, feasible, and acceptable. Future research in different settings and including measures to assess maintenance are needed. (Grades 6 - 12)

This presentation will focus on interventions that link mastered facts to new and related skills (e.g., using basic addition skills to learn subtraction). Participants will leave the session with the ability to access and use materials to support computation skills across operations.

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.

The Core Leadership Team (CLT) is essential in establishing a foundation for collaboration within any school setting. Through commitment, reflection and shared decision-making, the CLT sets the tone for program-wide PBIS implementation. This session will take a look at one team’s progression over time, including its strengths, challenges and lessons learned.

In this session, we will learn methods for leveraging linguistic structure (e.g., morphology, semantics, syntax) to provide direct instruction in academic language to English learners in math. We will learn an evidence-based routine for introducing academic vocabulary. We will also explore how English morphology and syntax can be taught to support English learners' math content learning, vocabulary development, comprehension, and expression. Examples will feature math content from both primary and secondary grade levels.(Grades K - 12)

How one elementary school engaged in team-based decision making using behavioral data (SWIS) to reduce physical aggression and physical contact through a targeted tier 1 intervention focused on teaching, modeling, and systematic reinforcement of the school-wide expectations.

Participants will learn how to use virtual manipulatives and representations to support conceptual understanding of mathematics. Dr. Hughes will demonstrate how to use algebra tiles to solve different equations. Participants will have opportunity to try different virtual manipulatives and leave with a list of free resources.

Comprehension and working memory present unique challenge for students with learning challenges in problem solving. Using recommendations from the IES What Works Practice Guide, we can generate strategies which support students in attacking word problems by incrementally breaking tasks down, utilizing the ability to visualize or draw, organize and reason mathematically.

Explore one school’s journey from a punitive system to a positive system. Understand ways to include stakeholders in decision-making and delivery to maximize staff buy-in. Experience data delivery ideas as well as interventions that encourage the use of data to make change. We will discuss a successful format through which data can be dispersed and show strategies that will allow resources to be accessible to all school members for use in professional development as well as student learning.
