Building a system of proactive Tier 3 behavior intervention for students who need it (and their teachers!) IS possible and is absolutely worth the investment. Because challenging behavior is…challenging and resistant to change, many schools resort to containing, ignoring, or removing students without actually addressing underlying needs and developing missing skills. It doesn’t have to be this way.

Join this edWeb podcast for a walk-through of essential Tier 3 behavior system components along with practical intervention strategies and real-life examples. We include a downloadable Tier 3 behavior plan template that you can make your own. Learning objectives include:

• Understand the key components of Tier 3 behavior system planning as part of a Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS)
• Learn evidence-based behavior intervention strategies that are practical and appropriate for schools
• Identify common pitfalls and misconceptions related to Tier 3 behavior intervention, plus tips to avoid them

This edWeb podcast is of interest to K-12 school leaders, district leaders, and those in district-level MTSS, curriculum, social-emotional learning, and special education roles.

Whatever students’ disabilities or learning differences are, appropriate technology tools can help them overcome their learning hurdles.

In this edWeb podcast, two superintendents share the strategies their districts implement to assure that the teachers and staff have the knowledge and skills to effectively leverage the tools that technology can provide so that each student can be a successful learner. Free online resources created to assist school leaders in ensuring accessibility for all learners will also be shared.

This edWeb podcast is of particular value to superintendents, K-12 school and district leaders, and aspiring school leaders.
