Multi-tiered Systems of Support for Instructional Leaders

Catalog description

The purpose of this course is to provide candidates with the skills to (a) identify and assess at the universal level specific academic and behavior support needs; (b) design and implement behavior interventions at the school-wide and classroom levels across all students that include systems, practices, and data; (c) design learning environments that prevent and remediate problem behaviors, and (d) involve the key stakeholders (school personnel, students, families, community members) to develop agreed upon expectations and strategies to facilitate success for all students. Attention is focused on creating and sustaining secondary (targeted group or simple individual plans), and tertiary (individual) systems of support that improve lifestyle results (personal, health, social, family, work, recreation) for all children and youth by making problem behavior less effective, efficient, and relevant, and desired behavior more functional.
