Starting Point….
• Educators cannot “make” students learn or
behave
• Educators can create environments to
increase the likelihood students learn and
behave
• Environments that increase the likelihood are
guided by a core curriculum and
implemented with consistency and fidelity

10. Assistant Superintendents, Curriculum
Coordinators, Business Managers, Principal
Reassignment Policies, Teacher Transfers…..
• “7 years of college down the drain”
• Function vs. Job Title
• Stake Holders
9. Non-Classroom & Momentum
• Outcomes = buy in
• Continue to highlight
• Track at-risk students within
8. The Ship has Got to Sail
• Focus on the 80%
• Apply problem solving / function based logic
to those still on the dock
7. Data is not a “four letter word”
•
•
•
•
Does it answer your questions
Consistency
Agreement
And yes, it really is important that you send
data to your state/district/region contacts on
time
6. All in the Family
• Build plans for connections early and revisit
often
• Connection Levels across tiers of support
– Awareness
– Involvement
– Support
5. Its still all about the classroom
• Classroom Management Basics
• “When I Need It”
– Who do I go see?
– What should I expect?
– How do I monitor?
Essential
1. Classroom expectations & rules defined and taught (all use
school-wide, create classroom examples)
2. Procedures & routines defined and taught
3. Continuum of strategies to acknowledge appropriate
behavior in place and used with high frequency (4:1)
4. Continuum of strategies to respond to inappropriate behavior
in place and used per established school-wide procedure
5. Students are actively supervised (pre-corrects and positive
feedback)
6. Students are given multiple opportunities to respond (OTR)
to promote high rates of academic engagement
7. Activity sequence promotes optimal instruction time and
student engaged time
8. Instruction is differentiated based on student need
4. Free to a Good Home: Tier II
• Ownership “case manager(s)”
• What students should be in the club
– Screening
– Data Decision Rules
• Connect points to Universals / Tier III / other
specialized support
• Classroom problem solving teams
• Systems, Systems, Systems
3. Stages & Phases
Systems
 Exploration
 Installation
 Initial Implementation
 Full Implementation
 Innovation
 Sustainability
Individual Learning
• Acquisition
• Fluency
• Maintenance &
Generalization
2. Mimicry Sincerest Form of Flattery
• Good Consumers
• Be prepared for next “hot topic”
• “Modest” Bragging
Good Consumers
1. Repetition Builds Fluency
• Data
– What do we need to put in place
– Is it working
• Practices
– Research to support
– “Buy in”
• Systems
– Training & Technical Assistance
