Outcomes Understand the core components of Social Emotional Standards (SEL) as they relate to Behavioral and Academic goals Review Tiered Supports for Behavior Realize common ground of related initiatives: RtI, PBIS, and SEL

Activity: Qualities of Graduates Reflection: –What qualities or characteristics do we want our students to possess by the time they graduate from high school? CASEL

SEL Standards in Illinois – A Brief History 2001: Childrens Mental Health Task Force Convened –Purpose: To address, systemically, Illinois fractured childrens mental health system. 2003: IL Childrens Mental Health Act Passed –Created IL Childrens Mental Health Partnership (ICMHP). –Required all school districts to develop policies that incorporate social and emotional development in their educational programs. –Required IL State Board of Education (ISBE) to develop and implement social and emotional learning standards as part of the IL learning standards. 2005: SEL standards are developed and approved by ISBE –Illinois becomes the first state to mandate that SEL standards be implemented in schools.

What Matters! Contexts for teaching & learning environments Interaction between academic & social behavior instruction Data for informed decision making Effective, efficient, durable, & relevant practices & systems

Common Training: Build on What Schools Know and Do Systems, Data and Practices Leadership Data based Decision Making Universal Screening Progress Monitoring Standards Aligned Curriculum Evidenced Based Practice 3-Tiered Model of Interventions Differentiation for Academics and Behavior Team Based Implementation Sustainability

–Consistent core reading instruction of validated efficacy implemented school-wide –Core instruction focuses on big ideas in beginning reading (i.e., phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension) –Core instruction implemented with fidelity –Consistent, prioritized, and protected time allocated to core reading instruction Universal Supports: Core Instruction

Examples of ways to intensify instruction Increase instructional time Provide instruction in smaller groups or one-on-one Preteach important concepts Modify program to make more explicit and supportive Monitor progress more frequently Provide program specific training or coaching to instructor Meet frequently to monitor instruction, coordinate and plan Give students more opportunities to practice skills Targeted Supports: Intervention

Positive Behavior Interventions & Supports: A Response to Intervention (RtI) Model Tier 1/Universal School-Wide Assessment School-Wide Prevention Systems Tier 2/Secondary Tier 3/ Tertiary SIMEO Tools: HSC-T, RD-T, EI-T Small Group Interventions (CICO, SSI, etc) Intervention Assessment Illinois PBIS Network, Revised May 15, 2008 Adapted from T. Scott, 2004 Group Interventions with Individualized Focus (CnC, etc) Simple Individual Interventions (Simple FBA/BIP, Schedule/ Curriculum Changes, etc) Multiple-Domain FBA/BIP Wraparound ODRs, Attendance, Tardies, Grades, DIBELS, etc. Daily Progress Report (DPR) (Behavior and Academic Goals) Competing Behavior Pathway, Functional Assessment Interview, Scatter Plots, etc.

Continuum of Support for Tier 2/Secondary-Tier 3/Tertiary Level Systems 1.Group interventions: CICO, social or academic skills groups, tutor/homework clubs, etc. 2.Group intervention with a unique feature for an individual student, (e.g. CICO individualized into a Check & Connect; mentoring/tutoring, etc.) 3.Simple individualized function-based behavior support plan for a student focused on one specific behavior (e.g. simple FBA/BIP-one behavior; curriculum adjustment; schedule or other environmental adjustments, etc) 4.Complex function-based behavior support plan across settings (e.g. FBA/BIP home and school and/or community) 5.Wraparound : More complex and comprehensive plan that addresses multiple life domain issues across home, school and community (e.g. basic needs, MH treatment, behavior/academic interventions) as well as multiple behaviors Illinois PBIS Network, Revised May 15, 2008
