PBIS Behavior Support Team Retreats Presented by Dates: November 3, 2015 and April 6, 2016 Time: 8:00am–3:00pm (registration begins at 7:30am) LOCATION: Grappone Conference Center 70 Constitution Avenue, Concord NH Registration Fee: $119 per session individual; $99 member of a group of 3+ includes continental breakfast, lunch, & materials INSTRUCTOR: Kathy Francoeur, M.Ed. WHO SHOULD ATTEND: These retreats are for Tier 2 Teams that are implementing PBIS, or teams from schools that are beginning to develop secondary level prevention systems to support students needing more behavior support than can be supported via intensive and individual tertiary support, and for students who are at risk of chronic problem behavior. Attendance at both sessions is recommended, but not required. SERIES Description: Despite effective universal instruction and supports for all students, some youth still may struggle socially or academically in school. These students can benefit from group interventions to support their needs for improved outcomes. During these retreats participants will explore various evidence-based group intervention strategies through showcasing case examples from area schools, supporting participants in learning how to design interventions in their school, and a focus on progress-monitoring tools and sustainability. Participants will have time to plan, interact with others, and ask questions. November 2015: Building Capacity for a Tier 2 System This session will provide time for teams to review their Tier 2 system, data, and practices in order to have effective and efficient interventions ready to support youth who are not responding to the Tier 1 system. Special emphasis will be in developing and refining the Check In/Check Out (CICO) Intervention to make it work for students, while discussing the core features to ensure fidelity of implementation. Examples phone: 603.228.2084 | relay: 711 email: contact.iod@unh.edu of tools for monitoring fidelity and student outcomes will be shared. Participants will have time to plan, interact with others, and ask questions. April 2016: Leading Your Team to Develop Function Based-Supports This session will take a closer look at function of behavior to develop positive supports best matched to student need and effective interventions. Teams will practice a simple FBA process that leads to improved positive behavior support plans. Tier 2 teams will have chance to review their system, data, and practices in order to more effectively and efficiently support youth who are not responding to the Tier 1 system. Examples of simple FBA tools will be shared. About pbis: PBIS is a systemic, data-driven behavioral support and improvement systems change model that consists of three levels—Tier 1 (Universal), Tier 2 (Behavior Support), and Tier 3 (Intensive)—each specifically designed to prevent disruption and address the behavioral support needs of students at risk of school failure. Behavior Support Teams are designed to match and monitor students who are not responding to school wide supports, increasing the level of support through function-based group interventions and simple behavior support plans..
