Tier 3 Support Plans – PTR Tools: School based teams can use this information to gain information about training, coaching, forms, and advanced PTR resources.

Tier 3 Support Plans – Practices Tools – Educators can find information about key Tier 3 SEB practices, including helpful handouts about various prevent, teach, and respond practices. Educators can use the handouts alongside student assessment data to adapt their classroom practices for students with Tier 3 needs. Additionally, there are links to intervention pages for each PTR intervention, including explanations of the intervention and resources for implementation. Facilitators can use these pages to help teams select and contextually appropriate interventions matched to student assessment data.

Tier 3 Support Plans – Additional Tools:  School and district teams can find additional information about Tier 3 practices including Person Centered Planning resources, FBA/BIP for internalizing behaviors and PTR for families.

Tier 3 District Level Planning Tools – page currently under construction:  District level teams can access information on this page related to understanding the Tier 3 structures needed to develop a results driven system for students in need of individualized behavioral supports.

PTR Facilitator Corner – This page houses resources shared at networking sessions for the PTR facilitators.

Tier 3 Professional Learning

All DE-PBS school teams should have foundational understanding of behavioral science to establish strong practices at all three Tiers. Those working with teams at Tier 3 to design individual behavior plans should have additional skills in facilitating the FBA/BIP Process.

Tier 3 School-Level Systems Workshop

This training outlines foundational Tier 3 school-level systems features such as teaming, student identification, staff training, matching students with functional behavior supports and evaluating the overall effectiveness of Tier 3 interventions.. Participants learn about moving from “how” to implement FBA/BIPs toward building Tier 3 systems that are layered on the data, systems and practice structures of Tier 1 and Tier 2.

Intended audiences: educators responsible for developing and/or monitoring Tier 3 interventions (e.g., school psychologists, educational diagnosticians, and special education coordinators); school level MTSS Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 team leaders; district MTSS support personnel (e.g., coaches, special education coordinators, PTR master facilitators).

Tier 3: FBA/BIP for Educators

In this two part series, participants will learn how function based thinking can support student behavior.  They will apply the basics of applied behavior analysis to address concerning behavior, understand the steps to complete a  functional behavior assessment (FBA) and recognize the critical components of function based behavior intervention plans (BIPS).  Please note:  It is strongly recommended participants attend both sessions. These workshops are open to ALL educators (e.g., general or special education teachers) who want to learn more about using a function-based approach to address concerning behavior. Attendees will leave prepared to support the development and implementation of behavior plans, but not necessarily lead or facilitate the FBA/BIP process in their schools.

Special Presentation

Person Centered Planning

This workshop provides an overview of the principles and key concepts of Person-Centered Planning. Participants will learn several methods of developing action plans in this module including MAPs (Making Action Plans) and PATHs   (Planning Alternative Tomorrows with Hope) and how to determine which tool to use. Content includes how these tools can be used effectively to support individual students by bringing the key actors in a student’s life together to create an action plan to be implemented in the general classroom setting, as well as how they can be used to create action plans for their schools.

Special Presentation

Tier 3 Internalizing Behavior

On Wednesday, November 15, the Delaware PBS Project welcomed Dr. Rose Iovannone from the University of South Florida. This new professional development focused on supporting students with internalizing behavior concerns, such as anxiety and refusing to attend school. Over 100 educators from 60 schools representing 13 districts were guided through the process of determining the function, or what is driving, the behavior.  This information is used to develop effective interventions that address the student’s unique needs.  Participants had the opportunity to practice developing interventions for a variety of sample case studies and ask questions about supporting students in their schools. Guest speaker:  Dr. Rose Iovannone
