PTR-YC

MNCoE is excited to continue to scale up PTR-YC implementation with 8 PTR-YC trainers, in addition to coaches and practitioners implementing from Pyramid Model sites throughout the state.

You can purchase a PTR-YC Manual from Brookes Publishing or Amazon. It would be helpful for each classroom implementing PTR-YC to have a copy of the Manual available in their classoom.

Resources for Facilitators of PTR-YC Meetings

PTR-YC Meeting Slide Decks:

These slide decks are designed to support PTR-YC Team Meetings for an individual child/family. Facilitators can make a copy of each slide deck and then personalize it for each PTR-YC meeting. The slide decks walk through important elements of each PTR-YC Step and by the end of each meeting you will have the appropriate Forms completed, decisions made, and next steps identified. Click on the box to the right to "Make a Copy" of each Google Slide deck. Please provide feedback/comments/suggestions regarding use of this resource to your Professional Development Facilitator (PDF)/External Coach.

PTR Intervention Strategies At-a-Glance:

These documents are available to PTR-YC Meeting Facilitators as a resource to quickly be able to reference implementation reminders around each PTR Strategy. This information will be helpful when completing Step 4 of the PTR-YC process when selecting strategies for a Behavior Intervention Plan. Information on these documents is taken directly from the PTR-YC Manual.

PTR-YC Lessons Learned with Dr. Phil Strain

Monthly Case Rotations with Dr. Phil Strain

MNCoE is in it's third year of participating in a national project around implementation of PTR-YC. We are supported by Dr. Phil Strain, one of the authors of PTR-YC, in monthly case rotations. Dr. Strain meets virtually with 7 Behavior Coaches/Internal Coaches to work through real PTR-YC cases. The SMORE Newsletter to your right summarizes our recent "Lessons Learned." Our goal in sharing these "Lessons Learned" is for Pyramid Model sites throughout the state to gain access to the same information and be able to apply it to their PTR-YC work.
