Dr. Riffel will describe and provide multiple examples of three levels of contingencies and rewards that should be built into school and classroom management systems.

Learn about intensive interventions implemented in an early childhood setting.

Learn steps for producing videos that serve a specific purpose within your PBIS framework and that adhere to expected evidence-based standards and your school’s unique needs.

Receive foundational information and definitions of the ABCs of behavior. An understanding of the ABCs will help teachers and administrators define behavior, create a behavioral summary statement to assist in determining the function of behavior and create an effective intervention plan.

This session will focus on a specific Tier 2 Intervention: Newcomer’s Club. This intervention is connected to a comprehensive, integrated three- tiered system of prevention and intervention. The purpose of Newcomer’s Club is to build a system to support new students to the school. The outcome is for new students to learn and be able to follow the schoolwide expectations, classroom expectations and routines, and to make friends. Critical features and school exemplars will be discussed and shared.

This session provides implementation examples from two SW-PBS teams that implemented the check-in/ check-out intervention with high school students. Descriptions of the process and lessons learned that are specific to secondary level settings will be shared.

A framework to integrate mental health and other community partners through schoolwide PBIS structures will be described, including structures and processes to expedite outcomes for youth and families and progress/challenges experienced by implementation teams.
