27. A Look at Successful Implementation of an MTSS Framework in a Large Suburban High School The Bensalem High School team is back and better than ever! Join us for an informative and entertaining session. The team will detail the trials and triumphs unique to the secondary setting. Scheduling, academic intervention, PBIS, and data tracking will all be discussed in this dynamic and engaging presentation. Participants will acquire an understanding of how an MTSS framework can work in the secondary setting as well as practical strategies and actionable ideas for use in their schools.

During this session, the presenters will discuss how they continually develop positive character traits of their students. The SWPBS team has chosen the traits of Responsibility, Respect, Caring, Trustworthiness, Fairness, and Citizenship. In this session the team will share experiences with the 4 Be’s and developing a character education program. These efforts are helping students to become "Motivated Millionaires".

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. We will share specific strategies (i.e., establish and state clear behavior expectations, model and explain cool-down strategies) linked to the Pennsylvania state standards on managing emotions and behaviors.

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.

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.

Facing difficulties using PBIS at your early childhood center? Who isn’t?! Teams attending this session will create an action plan to overcome a current struggle they have carrying out PBIS. Having a method to think through a challenge can help teams move from being stuck in a rut to implementing with fidelity.

This session will focus on the benefits of embedding visual strategies for young learners in the learning environment. The strategies will be taught in an interactive format. The session will include evidence-based visual strategies that will assist learners with communication and participation throughout the daily routines in the learning environment.
