8 - Systems for Interventions

Click the linked image above to get a copy of our indicators within our Evidence tool Collection tool!

Systems for Interventions is the eighth indicator within the Supportive Schools Certification Process. A robust multi-tiered system of supports for SEL provides targeted and intensive evidence-based interventions to meet the differentiated needs of all students. While teachers and other classroom staff will be able to provide some of these supports, some students will also benefit from referral to and participation in small group or individualized interventions provided by trained practitioners.

Sample Milestones

Sample Milestones

a) Create a menu of behavioral health interventions that will address identified student needs

b) Ensure staff are trained in implementing interventions

c) Develop and implement a referral, screening, and assignment process to match students with interventions

e) Partner with community agencies that will provide on-site interventions for students

f) Train staff on restorative disciplinary practices, with those responsible for implementing disciplinary interventions receiving the most intensive training

g) Develop and implement restorative disciplinary processes at the classroom and schoolwide disciplinary level. Ensure discipline referrals and documentation reflects this process.
