2016 Foxborough Summer Institute

This workshop will focus on creating safe and supportive classroom environments based on addressing the needs of the whole child. We will discuss integrating it with a concept of safe and supportive classrooms built on teacher/student relationships, identifying components of a safe classroom space and integrating social skill development within classroom practice. Participants will receive a summary of numerous related classroom supports for the concepts presented and discussed (grades PreK-12).

This workshop will explain the steps a school, or classroom teacher, can use to implement a multi-tiered system of behavioral support. We will discuss Tier I, Tier II and Tier III interventions including types of behaviors, who is responsible (teacher, school psychologist, admin etc) as well as possible intervention strategies. We will cover differences between school/class core values and school/class rules and how to build a positive culture. Templates and outlines will be reviewed for “major” and “minor” incidents and how to develop a collaborative system of expectations and consequences. We will explain how data can be collected to find patterns of behaviors and how to develop strategies to reteach and model expected behaviors. Many school-wide incentive ideas will be shared out that have been used to create a safe, positive learning environment for all students (grades PreK-8).
