We are working with District Coordinators to make sure they are delivered to recognized schools. Start thinking about where to hang them and please share a photo with us!

March Implementor Spotlight

Kim Turner and her RTI2-B team at Sequatchie County Middle School used data to identify the needs of their students. They used these data to develop a school-wide intervention to target internalizing behaviors affecting middle school students.

Monitor

Thank you for encouraging your faculty and staff to complete the Primary Intervention Rating Scale (PIRS) Survey. Our team is compiling the results and will be sending each school a PIRS report summarizing their data in the next month. As you prepare to discuss the PIRS report with your team, click here to better understand how to interpret and use your PIRS data.
 
Regardless of your learning model, attendance is critical for student success. Tracking attendance data for in-person, hybrid, and virtual learners is important, but sometimes it can be hard to determine next steps. Click here to learn about interventions that can be implemented to support attendance for all students.
 
Due to public health guidelines, many of you are planning to complete the Spring TFI through electronic platforms such as Zoom. Consider reviewing this brief created by the Center on PBIS with specific guidelines on conducting the TFI and Walkthrough remotely.

The Center on PBIS created a brief on how to embed Culturally Responsive Practices within Tier I. Click here to read about strategies that are critical in removing barriers and providing access to education for all students.

As you align social, emotional, and behavioral supports within your RTI2-B framework, it can sometimes require extra planning to think about how to best do this for students receiving Tier II and Tier III interventions. The National Center on Intensive Intervention created this helpful resource with specific strategies to support all students. 

It is no secret that we love an acknowledgement system matrix. Review this example and reflect on ways to refresh your school-wide system this spring. We particularly like how this example includes ideas on how substitutes and custodians can be part of the plan!
