Behavioral, Academic, and Social Interventions

Catalog description

This course provides educators with research-based interventions in the behavioral, academic, and social areas of student performance. Through a multi-tiered response to the intervention model, educators implement a solution seeking cycle for gathering information, identifying issues, and planning and assessing early and effective interventions. The course focuses on the teacher as the primary interventionist and includes universal and targeted interventions for the classroom that promote student resiliency and encourage students to reach for success. It emphasizes creating a learning alliance with students to demystify the learning experience, focus on strengths-based learning, collaboratively set goals, and monitor the progress of behavioral, academic, and social interventions.
