There are many ways schools support students with Tier III needs! The presenter will give a basic summary and comparison of three approaches to PBIS Tier III intervention: School-Based Wraparound, PTR (Prevent-Teach-Reinforce) and RENEW (Rehabilitation for Empowerment, Natural Supports, Education and Work). The presenter will also outline which types of social/emotional/behavioral challenges would best be supported by any of these interventions, and discuss readiness and commitment components necessary for the successful implementation of the interventions.
Attendees will learn about example prerequisite policies and resources which should be coordinated at both the site and district levels prior to introducing any of these interventions, to help ensure that the selected intervention will be sustainable and effective. Example readiness checklists will be provided and reviewed, which highlight the recommended action items to complete prior to launching any of these interventions.
Schools seeking to expand their menu of Tier III supports and interventions will recognize the importance of understanding the readiness and context of any intervention they are seeking to adopt. This session will provide information about three different models of intensive intervention, including information about the "first time on the west coast" RENEW model from the University of New Hampshire
