For optimal social, emotional, and academic learning, it is critical to create safe, supportive, and predictable classroom environments. This is especially important after students experience disruptions to normal school attendance routines. To kick the school year off, schools need to identify and prioritize universal, proactive classroom practices that are aligned to students’ social-emotional needs. Participants will learn how to use a team-based model that focuses on helping staff consistently implement these practices to support all students.

Focusing on staff self-care is critical and school-wide cultures need to reflect and value self-care. We’ll provide self-care strategies, and discuss systems and data to support a culture that promotes compassion resilience among staff.

10:30 AM 11:45 AM

Discover how we can move beyond talking about student needs to identifying student needs and matching students to intervention. We’ll cover how developing an intervention grid provides a foundational means to ensure efficient, effective, and equitable student access to tier 2 intervention supports. We’ll practice using an intervention grid and schools and districts will develop their own—resulting in a systematic process for identifying students, using data to guide intervention decisions, and establishing flow of communication.

PBIS has evolved. In Wisconsin, PBIS is implemented within an equitable, multi-level system of supports. This full-day, interactive opportunity provides teams with current best practices to re-establish or strengthen universal implementation; clarifying the five core features. Participants will analyze current team roles and responsibilities (team, train, support) and identify next steps to shift the work of the team to align with current guidelines. Prerequisite: PBIS tier 1 trained.

G2—High School Social Emotional Re-entry: Returning to Reality

09:00 AM 10:15 AM

The trauma and uncertainty during the current public health crisis challenged educators to quickly shift gears and respond to high school students�� needs at a moment’s notice. During their time away from school, students may have been exposed to unpredictable schedules, inconsistent supervision, or food insecurity which increases the need for school to be predictable, consistent, positive, and safe. Participants will explore psychological and behavioral impacts of traumatic experiences and plan deliberate responses by using recommended strategies when students return to their school buildings.

I2—Is My System Cheating on Me? Questions to Ask and Info to Examine If You’re Concerned

01:00 PM 02:15 PM

Despite inclusive, intentional mission and vision statements, systems can be deceiving and fail students we care deeply about. In order to determine where our systems might be “cheating” on us, we must ask difficult questions. By digging into and disaggregating data, schools can improve universal supports, plan programs, change classroom instruction, and improve overall supports for all students.
