ISPA Closing Thoughts by Rob Dixon

2024-10-18 16:19:15 UTC

The importance of tier 1 seemed to really come through

How important SEL is!

2024-10-18 16:19:23 UTC

Implementing interventions with fidelity is important.

2024-10-18 16:19:27 UTC

Check with the Middle School counselor to see if he would feel comfortable starting the screenings that were attempted at the start of COVID

2024-10-18 16:19:28 UTC

group counseling curriculum for treating depression and anxiety

2024-10-18 16:19:29 UTC

2024-10-18 16:19:32 UTC

Wondering if elementary kids flagged by parents and not teachers will show up as internalizers or externalizers in middle/high school.

Though there's an obvious need to support our students' mental health, there are a lot of barriers

2024-10-18 16:19:33 UTC

Biggest bang for one's buck is Tier-1

2024-10-18 16:19:33 UTC

2024-10-18 16:19:35 UTC

love the idea of a results team; we sometimes just go through the motions without reflecting

The importance of conducting screenings for SEL

2024-10-18 16:19:36 UTC

Organizing stakeholders is challenging work.

2024-10-18 16:19:39 UTC

That it's hard to get buy in for MH

2024-10-18 16:19:40 UTC

Talk with my admin about how we can start laying the groundwork to address mental health beyond our typical "SEL" work.

2024-10-18 16:19:41 UTC

email the director and share our take-aways

2024-10-18 16:19:47 UTC

2024-10-18 16:19:48 UTC

Buy-in is huge and is absolutely necessary to receive the data that we need to move forward.

2024-10-18 16:19:52 UTC

More conversation with colleagues about how to address this together!

2024-10-18 16:19:56 UTC

The important of collaboration and effective of use interventions.

Leading as school psychs for mental health matters requires buy in from admin and support to roll out more effective practices - not easy with current psych ratios and shortage!

2024-10-18 16:19:59 UTC

The MTSS model can work with mental health.

2024-10-18 16:20:01 UTC

There importance of tier 1 but also the barriers of universal screenings being conducted with fidelity (especially at elementary)

2024-10-18 16:20:01 UTC

It's ok to start small with implementing change.

2024-10-18 16:20:07 UTC

Check in with admin about how we're using Panorama data and how I can assist in the process

2024-10-18 16:20:12 UTC

2024-10-18 16:20:15 UTC

Look into Mental Health leadership and how it is different from SEL.

Really highlighted the importance of Tier 1! My buildings are really struggling with this so I got some great ideas to bring back to them.

2024-10-18 16:20:15 UTC

2024-10-18 16:20:16 UTC

The work you’re doing is critical to our society. Thank you. I hope we can keep moving forward and continue making steps forward

Further steps will need to be taken to ensure all students are completing screeners

2024-10-18 16:20:19 UTC

Communicate with parents, attendance interventions.

2024-10-18 16:20:25 UTC

Incorporating SEL data into student needs, in addition to academic needs, is important.

SEL is Key

2024-10-18 16:20:26 UTC

We just administered our SEL screener, so sitting down to look at it with our student services team

2024-10-18 16:20:26 UTC

Continue to push admin to get and utilize this type of screener.

2024-10-18 16:20:26 UTC

2024-10-18 16:20:28 UTC

The importance of meeting schools and staff where they are when advocating for change.

How to promote parent awareness on mental heath

2024-10-18 16:20:33 UTC

Fidelity of Tier-1

2024-10-18 16:20:34 UTC

Showcasing a school that completed a mental health screener, their number of referrals (maybe by type), the types of interventions that were put in place to support students that were identified as needing supports, and then the results of referral numbers and screener after interventions.

2024-10-18 16:20:34 UTC

2024-10-18 16:20:35 UTC

I'm new to my school so I will check with admin on who looks at the data and what are the next steps they take.

bring back the idea of data day....at least one day a month where we look at data (academics, SEL screeners, etc.) in the broad sense and create action items

2024-10-18 16:20:39 UTC

Interventions that are being done and how within the Middle and High Schools taking into account schedules of classes

2024-10-18 16:20:40 UTC

Recommending padlet use during PDs!

2024-10-18 16:20:46 UTC

How can we support the teachers to do more Tier 1 interventions? Don't want to put more onto them to do without building in supports

2024-10-18 16:20:46 UTC

To keep trying even if you are not getting the participation you hoped for.

2024-10-18 16:20:48 UTC

2024-10-18 16:20:49 UTC

Helping the school foster relationships with parents so that they are more likely to participate.

SEL is key to our current group of students.

2024-10-18 16:20:51 UTC

It starts with how we interact with our kids and talking about how to best help them in their day to day

2024-10-18 16:20:51 UTC

That SEL at tier 1 needs to be implemented.

2024-10-18 16:20:51 UTC

Interpretation of overall data to drive intervention at tier 1 or 2

2024-10-18 16:20:52 UTC

Tier 1 is definitely a starting point, but still need to be able to address specific student needs.

work on tier 1 for SEL

2024-10-18 16:20:52 UTC

Plan for rollout screener with behavioral health teams

2024-10-18 16:20:52 UTC

2024-10-18 16:20:53 UTC

FIDELITY!!

2024-10-18 16:20:53 UTC

Addressing sheer numbers effectively

Share out my takeaways with my Building Level Team that just met to discuss our DESSA data

2024-10-18 16:20:54 UTC

The importance of SEL!!

2024-10-18 16:20:56 UTC

Review of screeners and systemic options for rolling it out.

2024-10-18 16:20:56 UTC

2024-10-18 16:20:59 UTC

Would love more information on how to support Tier 2 internalizers in elementary/middle school.

Strong Tier 1 is so important

2024-10-18 16:21:02 UTC

Getting a pulse on buy in at different school sites

2024-10-18 16:21:04 UTC

Communicate and collaborate with my fellow school psychologist colleague

2024-10-18 16:21:04 UTC

I think more of a focus on culturally affirming screeners, including making sure that the items represent wellness, school climate and mental health of REM students, multilingual learners and students with disabilities

We can't put the cart before the horse. Measuring is not helpful when we are not saying there are tier 1 interventions. It was nicely presented!

2024-10-18 16:21:06 UTC

Revisit a data day and make sure that we are utilizing the information that we collect

2024-10-18 16:21:12 UTC

I'd like time for more collaboration with SW, Counselor to use universal screeners

2024-10-18 16:21:14 UTC

Use the MTSS framework to include mental health just like we do with academics

2024-10-18 16:21:16 UTC

2024-10-18 16:21:17 UTC

I am in a new building this year so talking with admin and really breaking down how our tiered system works on the day to day

Best practices for group interventions

2024-10-18 16:21:17 UTC

Interventions to support high school students

2024-10-18 16:21:18 UTC

Get the data and discuss with our team

importance of buy in for gather data and Tier 1 interventions

2024-10-18 16:21:21 UTC

Keep doing the tier 1 even when admin changes

2024-10-18 16:21:22 UTC

Since we are in a school psych shortage, I'm wondering how we can also showcase how counselors/social workers, etc. can support this process

2024-10-18 16:21:24 UTC

2024-10-18 16:21:29 UTC

Talk with admin about overall interpretation of data of Saebrs from fall to spring to inform planning for SEL support

Talk with Admin about bolstering Tier 1

2024-10-18 16:21:34 UTC

Discuss our recent universal screener data and suggest to reach out to parents of at-risk students with Tier 3 interventions

2024-10-18 16:21:36 UTC

continuing the conversations about supporting SEL for our students

2024-10-18 16:21:38 UTC

2024-10-18 16:21:41 UTC

The psychs should be given time for providing mental health services to students. It should be part of their job description and specific time for that

Supporting students who are returning from hospitalization programs at secondary level

2024-10-18 16:21:41 UTC

2024-10-18 16:21:42 UTC

Organize results from our fall screener and work with other clinicians to develop a plan based on data

changing school climate to impact mental health

2024-10-18 16:21:44 UTC

collaborate with psychs at other schools in my district and with our SW counterparts

2024-10-18 16:21:45 UTC

Ideas for higher level tiers and progress monitoring

For universal screening, it will be important to coordinate with principals to find designated times for teachers to complete the screeners. I wouldn't want teachers to be frustrated so early on. We want to have buy in from all stakeholders!

2024-10-18 16:21:47 UTC

This gave me a direction to assist my social worker who just administered the SAEBRS to our entire high school.

Tier 1 is key for informing the staff and communicating with the community!

2024-10-18 16:21:48 UTC

ensuring that your interventions available match the data you collect and make sure your next steps are feasible with the resources your have

I feel like we can get better at Tier 1 but are moving in the right direction. We have tier 2/3 SEL groups and are utilizing an SEL screener - now to move onto admin understanding the importance of building in Tier 1

2024-10-18 16:21:48 UTC

Again, who provides the services and to what extent should it be occurring in the school setting?

2024-10-18 16:21:48 UTC

SEL/Buy-in/Tier 1

2024-10-18 16:22:02 UTC

Figure out how to be a team with the social workers. My district is very much school psychs do testing, social work does mental health

2024-10-18 16:22:03 UTC

2024-10-18 16:22:05 UTC

Effective methods to grow overall parent engagement within the school system.

EC Options

chloecrosby1 — 2024-10-18 16:22:05 UTC

Would love to hear about any early childhood specific options out there!

Free motivation recommendation: a minute of recess/free time earned for each person completing the survey. If you get 30- can spread over days!

2024-10-18 16:22:06 UTC

Loved your thought of retirement being the best intervention for some staff! Hahahaha

2024-10-18 16:22:11 UTC

Should be paying attention to internalizers

2024-10-18 16:22:16 UTC

2024-10-18 16:22:18 UTC

The SEL curriculum is important and needs to be expanded as part of the daily curriculum not weekly

2024-10-18 16:22:21 UTC

Action steps would be to see how student voice is being truly heard in Tier 1 screening for mental health. Recognizing that not all students respond or have the opportunity to feel heard in an education system which is not responsive, preventative, and supportive for all students

2024-10-18 16:22:25 UTC

Curriculum / ideas to support kids with inattention/executive functioning issue

2024-10-18 16:22:27 UTC

This was a great topic and the presentation was super helpful. Thank you!

There is a lot to do for our schools and students to get them the supports and services they need, but it is achievable slowly.

2024-10-18 16:22:29 UTC

New strategies for needs assessment

2024-10-18 16:22:44 UTC

2024-10-18 16:22:47 UTC

How to use the screening data to set up group counseling for general education students and for students who have IEP goals.

2024-10-18 16:23:03 UTC

The importance of buy in at the teacher and student level.

Can we talk about the impact electronics have had on the increase in anxiety and ADHD?

2024-10-18 16:23:08 UTC

Check with middle school counselor about the screenings process

2024-10-18 16:23:12 UTC

2024-10-18 16:23:17 UTC

How critical a students mental health is to learning and how we need to reach more children, starting at a younger age. Appreciate knowing all the road blocks that were encountered and creative ways to get around them

Using a new EF curriculum

2024-10-18 16:23:23 UTC

the importance of social emotional development in our children. provideing the supports that will help them to grow and manage.

2024-10-18 16:23:31 UTC

Tier 3 SEL interventions. What are the options? We have Tier 2 curriculum and can run groups. What's next? Typically goes to another Tier 2 group or referral for evaluation.

2024-10-18 16:23:35 UTC

2024-10-18 16:24:37 UTC

Due to increase in mental health issues following COVID, Tier 1 interventions are indicated.
