Everyone is invited to ask questions from the keynote session and discuss what good teaching for good learning is

02. Improving School-wide Outcome from a Remodeled PBIS Program with an Alt. Education Program Join this fun, fast-paced, and interactive session as PBIS Team members from Community School East (AEDY Program outside of Pittsburgh, PA) expound upon their creative and innovative Tier 1 (Fun Friday; Pop Ups; Weekly Check Ins; Restorative Practices; and Sweet 16 Tickets) and Tier 2 (STAR Check-In; 20/20/20 - Reflection/Visual Learning & Connections/Character Education & Practice; and Advance to Fun Friday Passes) practices, interventions, and progress monitoring methods!

In this session, we will discuss ways to increase student participation and learning during classroom lessons. Dr. Hughes will share evidence-based strategies that can be implemented with ease in any classroom. She will discuss hurdles teachers experience and ways to address these challenges. (Grades 6 - 12)

This session features how McKinley Elementary School integrated PBIS and the Olweus Anti-Bullying Program. By finding the nexus between the two programs, McKinley was able to leverage the structures of PBIS and Olweus to proactively reduce bullying behaviors. Interventions provided through both frameworks provided a supportive foundation to improve school climate and culture. The strategies utilized to forge this connection will be shared during this session.

It is well documented that standard protocol math interventions do not meet all students’ needs, and some students require more intensified supports. When student responsiveness is low, slow, or absent the intensity of an intervention can be adjusted in systematic ways using data. In this session, treatment intensity dimensions will be identified and described, and intervention adaptations will be indicated. Participants will leave with actionable steps for adjusting math interventions.

In this Panel-style discussion, The Burgettstown, Pine Richland and Northgate Secondary Administration will share their experiences implementing intervention at the secondary level within an MTSS framework.

03. Breaking Barriers: How School Leaders Can Prioritize Practices That Maximize Literacy Learning Disrupted literacy skill acquisition was predicted at the onset of COVID-19; however, the most effective methods for accelerating learning upon return to consistent instruction is still being determined. This session is intended to assist leaders, administrators, and the educators responsible for instructional design with sifting through the mass of perspectives and data to select action items that are most likely to improve student literacy achievement. In this session, we’ll discuss research-informed priority practices that aim to maximize accelerated literacy learning.

An estimated 20% of the population is neurodiverse, yet most early childhood classrooms are not consistently accessible to all learners. These non-academic barriers impact school success due to delays in social-emotional learning. We will explore real-life implementation of inclusive strategies with specific examples and visuals and identify how to implement them in the classroom as well as partnering with families to increase equitable and inclusive practices and thus school success.
