Designing Effective Tier 2 and Tier 3 Intervention Systems for Students with Challenging Behavior

This course meets on four Thursdays: October 5, October 12, October 26, November 2
(Note: This course will not meet on October 19.)

9 am to 12 pm PT / 10 am to 1 pm MT / 11 am to 2 pm CT / 12 pm to 3 pm ET  (12 hours total)

Presented by Jessica Sprick

This course will focus on how to develop systematic schoolwide and district plans for implementing Tier 2 and 3 supports for behavior. When a student has not responded to universal proactive and positive behavior management, the student may benefit from one or more additional behavior interventions. This course will provide an overview of how to set up protocols for basic classroom-based behavioral interventions at the earliest stages, and then progress to efficient team processes for intervention. Learn ways to create red-flag identification systems that allow you to intervene sooner rather than later, and how to create and implement effective intervention plans at the Tier 2 and Tier 3 levels. This course will also provide summary information about a variety of evidence-based behavior interventions and resources for supporting students who have experienced significant trauma and students with behavioral or motivational challenges.
