Participants will learn about evidence-based practices for proactively and responsively addressing student behavior at the universal, supplemental and intensive (Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3) levels within a multi-tiered system of support. Practices and instruction focus on both prevention strategies and response strategies to address student behavior in educational environments including classrooms, hallways, lunchrooms, playgrounds, etc.. Content will be provided to understand the evidence-base of multi-tiered systems of support, function of behavior, trauma-informed practices and how to engage in data based decision making to match effective practices to local contexts and student needs. Structured team time and coaching is provided during the sessions for participants to develop action plans to support implementation within their unique school settings as well as to establish processes for monitoring implementation fidelity to improve student outcomes. 

This course will help teams who have previously completed Tier 1 Cohort training or individuals develop systems and structures for team meetings as well as systems to implement tier 2 interventions in the most efficient and effective manner.  Participants will review the systems for adult behavior and implement practices for at risk students’ that are evidenced- based.  Participants will use data decision rules to determine students that are in need of Tier 2 interventions and once students are in the intervention, will determine if students are responding to intervention.   Participants will learn about a menu of evidenced-based interventions with necessary critical features.  Participants will also learn how to assess fidelity and outcomes and develop action plans based on data.
