This professional learning session supports school teams in developing a clear and efficient Tier II intervention menu within an MTSS framework for social, emotional, and behavioral support. Participants will learn how to identify appropriate Tier II interventions (e.g., Check-In/Check-Out, social skills groups, mentoring), align supports to student need, and establish decision rules for access and progress monitoring.

The session emphasizes building standardized, scalable interventions that can be implemented with fidelity and integrated with existing systems. Participants will leave with a draft Tier II menu and next steps for implementation.

This professional learning session supports school teams in designing individualized, function-based supports for students with intensive behavioral needs within an MTSS framework. Participants will be introduced to the Competing Behavior Pathway as a structured process for planning across prevention, teaching, and response strategies. The session emphasizes intentional alignment of supports to student function, ensuring that interventions address the “why” behind behavior. Participants will explore function-based strategies within each category and leave with a framework for developing comprehensive behavior support plans.

This professional learning session builds staff capacity to understand and respond effectively to student escalation using the Conflict Cycle framework. Participants will examine how adult responses can unintentionally escalate or de-escalate behavior and learn practical strategies to interrupt escalation and support student regulation.The session focuses on recognizing stages of escalation, using proactive and in-the-moment de-escalation strategies, and aligning responses to function and student need. Participants will leave with practical strategies and a plan for consistent adult responses across settings.

This professional learning session supports educators in effectively collecting and using behavioral data to improve student outcomes within an MTSS framework. Participants will explore different types of behavioral data that can be gathered in classroom and school-wide settings, and learn how to select appropriate data collection methods based on student need. The session emphasizes the importance of accurate data collection and analysis to guide decision-making for students with behavioral challenges. Participants will be introduced to practical tools for data collection and analysis and leave with resources to support implementation in their own settings.
