Tier 2/Tier 3 Refresher

1. Tier 2/Tier 3 Refresher Small Group

2. Supports for All Students WRAPAROUND Intensive Supports – Individualized interventions provided to students with most complex emotional and behavioral needs. Complex FBA/BIP 1-5% 5-15% 80-90% Brief FBA/BIP Individualized CICO Targeted Supports – Provided to students determined to be “at-risk” of emotional and behavioral challenges. Social/Academic Instructional Groups Check-in/Check-out Universal Supports – Supports provided to all students. Expectations are taught, reinforced, and monitored in all settings. School & Class-wide expectations & supports

3. When to Consider Targeted Interventions • When Universal systems are not sufficient to impact behavior • When students display chronic patterns of disruptive behavior • When concerns arise regarding students’ academic or social behavior

4. Using the Referrals by Student report as a Universal Screening Tool

5. Which students might need more than Universal Level supports? • Possible Categories of Risk: • More than a couple office disciplinary referrals • Attendance/late to school • Frequent nurse visits • Homework not completed • Behavior concerns not addressed through discipline system (e.g. social withdrawal, internalizing) • Other

6. Targeted interventions are… • Best for low level problem behavior (e.g. talk-outs, minor disruption, task completion); • Efficient because they use a similar set of strategies across a group of students who need similar support; • Effective because they focus on decreasing problem behavior in the classroom thereby increasing academic engagement and decrease office referrals.

7. Critical Features • Rapid access to intervention (less than a week) • Positive system of support • Students agree to participate • Implemented by all staff/faculty – very low effort • Flexible intervention based on simple assessment of function of behavior • Adequate resources allocated (admin, team) • Continuous monitoring and decision-making • Administrative support

8. Examples: Targeted Group Interventions Based on Functions of Behavior • Access Adult Attention/Support: • Check-In/Check-Out • Adult Mentoring Programs • Access Peer Attention/Support: • Social Skills Instruction • Peer Mentoring • Self-Monitoring with Peer Support (function: academic task escape) • Academic Skills Support • Organization/Homework planning support • Homework completion club • Tutoring

9. EXAMPLE

10. What is Tier 3 intensive? • For students with serious and challenging behaviors that require individualized interventions • Collection of data to determine function of behavior (FBA) and positive behavior plan to address function (BSP) • Coordination of home, school, community interventions
