Converging Research Chapter 11 Background Information: School readiness, MTSS, PBIS, RtI, and dropout prevention research outcomes are all aligning with consistent themes emphasizing the importance of prevention and early intervention as early as pre-kindergarten, with evidence-based practices, and with a sharp focus on school-based protective factors The protective factors include school engagement, attendance, pro-social behaviors, and academic achievement in literacy and math Drop out is a complex problem that will require a comprehensive response – Positive School Climate/SWPBIS is a key component of the comprehensive response Considerations: What’s the big idea of this slide and how does it fit with the big ideas on the other slides?

The Power of Prevention Chapter 11 The Power of Prevention Background Information: Research has consistently demonstrated that early academic failure and behavior problems being correlated with anti-social behavior and other problems later in life Well-designed and consistently implemented efforts that focus on providing academic and behavior supports as well as maximizing student engagement can help to prevent academic and behavioral problems Without adequate supports, academic failure and behavior problems, the downward spiral of academic failure and disengagement becomes more resistant to change Considerations: What’s the big idea of this slide and how does it fit with the big ideas on the other slides?

Student Achievement School Experiences On-time Graduation Chapter 11 Background Information: Improved school experience, increased student achievement, and increased on-time graduation have the promise for direct and substantial benefits at many levels, including student, family, school, community, state, and national levels In order to reach these improvements and increased outcomes, we need a system-wide, pre-kindergarten through 12th-grade continuum of supports, data sharing, and problem solving for all students Implementation of Positive School Climate/PBIS and Evidence-Based Classroom Management will help move the dial on these outcomes Considerations: What’s the big idea of this slide and how does it fit with the big ideas on the other slides?
