Functional Based Thinking Multi-Tiered Systems of Support: Focus on Tier 2 and Executive Functioning Skills

Title

Function-Based Thinking Multi-Tiered Systems of Support: Focus on Tier 2 and Executive Functioning Skills

Description

Students who need “tier 2” behavioral supports often have missing or weak skills in executive functioning and related skills such as shifting attention, inhibiting impulses, initiating activity, organizing actions and materials, time management, working memory and emotional control. These deficits sometimes result in stigmatizing labels such as “lazy”, “scatterbrained”, or “emotionally disturbed”. This session will focus on clearly understanding executive functioning deficits and will outline a proactive approach for helping students with these deficits experience greater success in the school setting through various support and instructional strategies.

The fee of $50.00 is for BOTH sessions which previously have been offered in a full day format.  The two session structure is meant to provide the opportunity for teachers to attend without getting a substitute which has currently proven to be even more of a challenge than usual due do the pandemic.  The sessions are especially appropriate for building or district level behavior leadership teams and the content will be available for six months to share with staff to guide processing activities and ongoing planning.  Ongoing consultation for implementation is available from the presenter upon request as her schedule allows.

This workshop builds on the foundation provided in Function Based Thinking Multi-Tiered Systems of Support:  Focus on Tier 1.  Previous attendance to that workshop is encouraged but not required.
