Language Structures and Verbal Reasoning: Missing Links in Close Reading Lessons Gough and Tunmer's Simple View of Reading (SVR) identifies two major components of reading comprehension: word recognition and language comprehension.

Overwhelmed with multiple data collection systems for school- wide and individual behavior data? Including those with disabilities and complex needs? Come see how Google can be used to streamline data collection for decision making on all levels. Teachers input behavior data once, and it is immediately available to track individual student progress, for tier 1 team school- wide data analysis, and to identify students possibly needing more behavior support from tiers 2 and 3 teams.

This session will explore the use of a tool designed to create consistent behavioral responses from adults working with students experiencing escalating behavior. The presenters will provide guidance on incorporating the use of the results into classroom practice and integration into Positive Behavior Support Plans (PBSPs).

During this session participants will learn the purpose of why and how the CHAMPS program has become such an integral part within the successful implementation and sustained efforts of Kerr Elementary’s SWPBIS framework. The presenters will discuss the process of developing, establishing and implementing clear and consistent expectations across the entire school environment; share the guiding principles of the CHAMPS program; and explain how the CHAMPS program is successfully maintained through coaching and consistency. They will discuss how data helps guide the PBS team’s decision-making, and how data helps to clarify the success of their program.

Are you looking for creative ways to reach students with challenging behavior? Come explore how our special education teachers are creating nurturing and safe environments for our students with disabilities.

29. Strengthening Tier 1 by Embedding Behavioral Expectations and SEL within Teaching Preparation Take the time to reflect on how to strengthen your Tier 1 level of support within the classroom setting. In this presentation we will discuss how you can embed your school’s PBIS behavioral expectations and components of SEL into everyday daily instruction within the classroom setting. By doing so this will not only positively impact students but can assist the MTSS team in making appropriate decisions for Tier II level of support.

Access all of the sessions at https://pattanliteracysymposium22.sched.com/ Executive skills are task-oriented skills that underlie students’ ability to learn. They are brain-based skills such as task initiation, sustained attention, working memory, planning, organization, and goal-directed persistence that are absolutely critical to school success. Although seldom taught explicitly, many educators now see that students who are strong in these skills are more successful than those who aren't. This workshop will introduce the 11 executive skills featured in the “Smart but Scattered” model and will describe how they support literacy development.

At Owen J. Roberts, staff have been using the Student Risk Screening Scale (SRSS) for three years. The presenters will share their experiences and processes for implementation as well as how they use the data to intervene.
