3 The Cleveland Literacy System Universal Implementation  The Cleveland Literacy System implements procedures for assessing, planning and teaching.  The Cleveland Literacy System was first implemented in 3rd grade classrooms across the District during the school year. Universal Outcome  The percentage of Cleveland students at the level of proficient or better more than doubled and the percentage of Cleveland students at the level of basic reduced to half of what it was.

4 The Cleveland Behavioral System? Discussion Question In what ways are we currently implementing universal procedures for assessing, planning, and teaching behavior?

5 SIMPLE SOLUTION #1 Over-Reliance on Punishment 1. It’s Quick! 2. It’s Easy to Administer! 3. It’s Cheap! 4. It Works!!! …with students without challenging behaviors (80-95%)

6 SIMPLE SOLUTION #1 cont. Over-Reliance on Punishment  It doesn’t work with our Targeted and Intensive students  To make these students behave we fall into doing it… -harder -longer -faster, or -louder

7 SIMPLE SOLUTION #2 Wishing and Hoping  “I hear they’re moving…”  “The year ends soon and he will move on to 6 th grade!”  “You know, I heard they really don’t live in our district!”  “Oh, please let her be absent just one day!”

8 The Bottom Line… Chronically disruptive and unsafe student behavior cannot be solved with independent and isolated strategies Therefore… We must link academics and behavior within a single integrated systems model

9 CMSD Integrated Systems Model: Pyramid of Success  Develop a comprehensive continuum of supports designed to promote academic and social- emotional competencies
