A thorough presentation of positive behavioral supports and interventions in a variety of school environments will be presented to conference attendees. Discussion will center around types of behaviors; task avoidance, escape motivated, attention seeking, behaviors that produce sensory consequences, and the role motivation plays in behavioral success in many settings. The audience will be able to apply the information presented through videos, activities, and examples of how to set up positive plans for the students in a variety of environmental settings immediately in their respective situations. The training will also contain discussions about setting limits that work and the application of positive interventions in the regular education setting.  We will examine the common pitfalls that sabotage behavioral intervention plans and what to avoid when wanting to make significant behavioral changes. Discussions of how to implement 504 accommodations in a regular education setting, how to conduct data collection for a variety of specially designed treatment strategies in the classroom.  Using Antecedent/Behavior/Consequence ABC data collection and other simple data collection systems will be presented to the conference attendees.

Throughout the presentation, the attendees will receive a vast amount of information on what seems to work best for the children and adolescents with various disabilities, and how to set up positive behavioral supports and interventions for the individuals and track the progress of the students they are serving.

The Battle of Arrow Creek is one of the most important events in Apsáalooke (Crow) history. The battle, which took place in 1861, is also known as Ashkoota Binna Chikuwa/Where The Camp Was Fortified. This workshop will explore the actual event as told through the fictional account of the battle in the book "Elk Morning at the Battle of Arrow Creek" by A.J. Otjen and Sabrena Half. The artwork of Kevin Red Star, world renowned Crow artist, fill the pages of the book. The story and artwork provide a deeper look at Crow history.

The Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) is a framework that helps educators identify students' academic, behavioral, and social-emotional strengths and challenges and provide differentiated support for students based on their needs.

Workshop Goal:

To empower educators to work collaboratively to identify, track, and put strategies in place across academic, behavior, and social-emotional learning to enable all staff to optimize effective interventions and monitor student progress for all students.

The "WHY":

The complexity of providing academic and social-emotional support to every student at their ability level requires educators to work together to support students with the understanding of MTSS and what it looks like in daily practice. 

Participants will learn how to easily incorporate therapy-based movement into the classroom setting to enhance the learning potential of students. Through the use of S’cool Moves poster activities, students will improve motor planning, rhythm, timing, core strength, vestibular activation, hemispheric integration, and sensory-motor systems to build a solid foundation for learning. They will also improve self-regulation, reading, writing, and focus for academic achievement. Participants will also learn tiered interventions

designed for whole school, small groups, and one-on-one intervention. Adaptations and suggestions for preschoolers and remote learning via telehealth will be provided. In addition, they will understand how teachers and therapists working together can achieve goals for their students faster and more enjoyable results. S’cool moves translates research into action for the benefit of all students. It is a course not to be missed.

Evidence-based Course Highlights:

-Use the Dynamic 5 Systems Approach to support learners with a variety of focus and learning needs. 

-Integrate 10-Minute Moves routines into the daily schedule. 

-Learn 20 Focus Moves poster activities for small groups. 

-Expand interventions within a tiered framework.

-Improve collaboration by using activities across multidisciplinary teams. What can we all agree on?
