Behavior Solutions
Teaching Academic and Social Skills Through RTI at Work™
When students’ behavioral, emotional, and social needs are met, they are better able to excel in school and in life. Take strategic action to begin closing the systemic behavior gap with the guidance of Behavior Solutions. This user-friendly resource outlines how to utilize the PLC at Work® and RTI at Work™ processes to create a three-tiered system of supports that is collaborative, research-based, and practical.
Benefits
- Become familiar with student behaviors, emotions, and mental states and the challenges they provide to the implementation of educational initiatives.
- Learn why it is necessary for schools to embrace the PLC at Work and RTI at Work processes to ensure students’ behavioral success with a multitiered system of support (MTSS).
- Study each tier of behavioral support—prevention, intervention, and remediation—to foster social-emotional learning (SEL).
- Understand how to construct successful behavior intervention processes at each behavioral tier.
- Read real-world examples and case studies of schools that implemented effective multitiered systems of behavior supports, then create your own action plan.
