Abstract
Students with or at-risk for emotional and behavioral disorders pose an immense challenge for educators, and typical practices to address them are punitive and exclusionary, leading to poor academic and social outcomes for students. To address the complex needs of students with intensive emotional and behavioral needs, evidence-based practices and strategies that have been validated through rigorous research are needed. In this article, we describe evidence-based practices for creating positive and effective classrooms environments as well as illustrate implementation factors that are key to successful and sustained use of evidence-based practices in school settings.

This training includes 26 strategies teachers can use in face-to-face and online instruction to support students - the training design features a series of “trading cards” of each intervention that teachers can place on a ring for quick reference. It also includes a sorting activity that PLCs and teaching teams can use to analyze interventions for use with students in Tiers 1, 2, and 3. Note: these strategies can be helpful to share with parents also!
