Beginning Behavior Strategies by Jessica Reisfelt https://padlet.com/jessica45/r244a718am6w Video Reflection en-us 2016-10-03 09:47:22 UTC 2019-07-18 19:20:44 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Folder.png While you were watching the video, think about your own classroom and students. How would a multi-tiered system translate into your setting? How are you already using this system, even if you didn't realize it?  jessica45 https://padlet.com/jessica45/r244a718am6w/wish/127817401 2016-10-03 09:50:03 UTC https://padlet.com/jessica45/r244a718am6w/wish/127817401 I think that a multi-tiered system  would translate very well into my setting because it groups students by their need not their academic level.  This is far more important than reaching the academic level (yet) because this is the only way they are able to access any material .  When their needs are met.  https://padlet.com/jessica45/r244a718am6w/wish/132593785 2016-10-24 02:44:48 UTC https://padlet.com/jessica45/r244a718am6w/wish/132593785 I teach small groups, so a multi tiered system feels slightly more challenging, especially because the curriculum I teach is not designed to be differentiated, but instead to be specifically at all students' academic/reading level. However, a tiered approach would help to manage the specific behavior needs of each child (which would lead to academic gains). https://padlet.com/jessica45/r244a718am6w/wish/146000875 2017-01-09 15:03:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jessica45/r244a718am6w/wish/146000875 At my school, we currently meet once a week to discuss our RTI system. This meeting consists of the Special Education Coordinator, the Assistant Principal, our Social Worker, and our School Psychologist. This meeting provides us a space to evaluate the various interventions in place for the school and for specific students to determine if they are working or if they need to be adjusted. https://padlet.com/jessica45/r244a718am6w/wish/215940753 2017-12-13 18:57:03 UTC https://padlet.com/jessica45/r244a718am6w/wish/215940753 https://padlet.com/jessica45/r244a718am6w/wish/221525749 At our school, the guidance counselor has tiered supports but as teachers we do not. The tiered support from the guidance counselor is highly effective, particularly in developing friendships for peers and handling trauma.Therefore, I believe that we should work more closely with the guidance counselor in order to be informed and assist in these tiered supports. Additionally, we have little ability to contribute to the discussion about the effectiveness of the supports and relay our input in a formal manner.  In the classroom, tiered supports may not be as effective because we have a formatted curriculum already that is not as well designed for differentiation.]]> 2018-01-15 20:00:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jessica45/r244a718am6w/wish/221525749 https://padlet.com/jessica45/r244a718am6w/wish/223060925 My school began an RTI program last year. We are still tweaking the behavior RTI. As right now we identify students as tier students based on behavior and each student is tiered based on academics as well. Students on tier one receive an unmodified version of the school wide behavior plan. Students in tier two receive extra reminders and times during the day to have a break or check in with their teachers. Students that are classified as tier three are not on the color stick and they have an individualized plan that is created with the counselor, homeroom teacher, DCI's, and principle. This plan is specific to each student and looks very different dependent on their needs. I do feel like their is little transparency with behavior RTI's and because of this some educators are not in the loop of behavior plans for each student. My students on my case load are tier 1 and 2's this year. I struggle with knowing what will work with a specific student. But I am changing things and some things stick and other do not. I love how the video showed different ways to quantify how to understand the struggles a student has using surveys. ]]> 2018-01-21 04:10:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jessica45/r244a718am6w/wish/223060925 My school has limited resources for sped students https://padlet.com/jessica45/r244a718am6w/wish/275291332 The thing that really stood out to me was the idea that you should treat every student the way that you would want your own to be treated. I have witnessed teachers treating students as less than or isolating students based on their behavior and I certainly wouldn't want my own child to be treated this way. For example, I have a student that the school classifies as "a runner" and I've witnessed another teacher aggressively restrain him. Im curious about how setting rules and addressing his own frustrations, in other words, getting to the bottom of why he tries to "run" in the first place could help us in addressing his negative behavior. ]]> 2018-08-25 01:48:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jessica45/r244a718am6w/wish/275291332 https://padlet.com/jessica45/r244a718am6w/wish/305577802 My school has a specific RTI team for behavior plans. This team meets once a week and runs similarly to the team that is shown in the video. ]]> 2018-11-17 18:53:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jessica45/r244a718am6w/wish/305577802 https://padlet.com/jessica45/r244a718am6w/wish/371609646 This video speaks to the need to make sure that our schools have the support staff they need. EVERY student is capable of high levels of academic achievement, but many are held back by social-emotional needs that are not able to be met by under-staffed schools.

As a coach who will be supporting SPEDucators this fall, I will need to be aware of how SPEDucators are managing their time to make sure that their students are getting the love and support they need. I will also be intentional about making sure that my CM's are putting in the legwork at the beginning of the year to get to know students and build relationships with families to make sure supports are best tailored to the individual student.]]> 2019-07-18 19:18:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jessica45/r244a718am6w/wish/371609646
