Syllabus for November 9-10, 2010
Workshop Description:
/Discipline, Behavior Management, School Safety systems (Tier 1) in all schools that increase students’ prosocial skills,
academic engagement, and academic achievement.  Using this PBS foundation, Strategic (Tier 2) and Intensive (Tier 3)
interventions to assist challenging students who are behaviorally unsuccessful or non-responsive then are described.

How to specifically plan, implement, and evaluate Tier 2 behavioral interventions are especially emphasized over the two-
day session.  They will be organized to address the need to: (a) Increase or Establish New Student Behaviors; (b)
Decrease or Eliminate Inappropriate Student Behaviors; (c) Teach Attention and Engagement Skills; (d) Teach Social, Self-
Management, and Self-Control Skills; (e) Increase Student Motivation; and (f) Address Teasing, Taunting, Bullying,
Harassment, and Physical Aggression/Fighting.  The specific interventions discussed will be evidence-based, teacher-
friendly, and field-tested.

This workshop will provide case examples as appropriate.  For each intervention, the following information will be provided:  
(a) Problem Situations where the Intervention is most-used or most useful; (b) functional assessment outcomes that
necessarily link to make this intervention relevant; (c) the Age Levels where the Intervention will be most successful; and
(d) the Severity Level of the Student and/or Problem where the Intervention will be most successful.


Learning Objectives:

Overall, workshop participants will learn:

1. To recognize the interdependence of student, teacher, instructional, curriculum, and other “environmental factors”
that must be considered when implementing interventions.

2. To understand the evidence-based Positive Behavioral Support System that provides the preventative “anchor” to
behavioral intervention.

3. To understand how to organize a number of behavioral interventions for strategic and intensive need students.

4. At the prevention level, the importance of teaching social skills and the behavioral principles underlying skill-based
training.

5. At the strategic and intensive intervention level, behavioral interventions for those students who are having difficulty
mastering or choosing not to demonstrate specific desired behaviors, and for those students who demonstrate
particularly intense, resistant, and/or significantly disruptive behavior.
