Essential Components of Tier 2/3 Behavior Support Systems
June 2 (Tuesday), 4 pm PT / 5 pm MT / 6 pm CT / 7 pm ET
This one-hour webinar focuses on designing or refining your Tier 2/3 system of support for behavior intervention. If your building struggles to support students with externalizing or internalizing behavioral needs, join Jessica Sprick to learn about essential ways to create systematic, evidence-based processes within your school. Learn critical system design elements, including:
- When and how to identify students who require additional support
- How to create layers of problem solving to ensure students (and staff) do not end up on long waiting lists for intervention
- How to build a wide range of behavioral interventions to meet varied student needs across time.
This is the first in a monthly series—other dates and topics coming soon!

8:45 am to 10 am: A Chicken and Egg Conundrum: How Academics and Behavior Impact Each Other
When building multi-tiered systems of support, educators are asked to look at both academics and behavior. They are often treated separately but are linked inextricably. Whether you approach curriculum through an academic model, behavior model, or both, this session will provide concrete ways to integrate them through the same instructional lens.
10:15 am to 11:30 am: Come One, Come All: Building a Culture of Attendance
Chronic absence has emerged as one of the most critical issues in education today. Historically, approaches to absenteeism provided too little intervention, too late. This session applies proven principles of behavioral change to the issue of absenteeism, shifting the focus of school efforts to proactive approaches that teach, motivate, and involve all stakeholders in preventing and solving absenteeism problems.
12 pm to 1 pm: Beacons of Hope (Keynote address)
Schools serve as a primary hub for many communities, often serving to fill in the gaps for much-needed resources. Capitalizing on the characteristics of safety, civility, and productivity, schools can create a culture of hope for students and families craving connectedness. A campus built on connectedness and hope is a campus where students and staff want to attend.
1:15pm to 2:15 pm: Connecting Students to the School: Early Stage Interventions for Chronically Challenging Behaviors
It’s easy to connect with students who are fully engaged and in compliance with our expectations. Students with challenging behaviors often test our ability to make those healthy connections. In this session, participants will explore early stage interventions to create proactive plans in addressing misbehavior while building relationships and maintaining healthy connections between the student and the classroom.
2:30 to 4 pm: Tackling the Tiers: Finding Your Place in a Multi-Tiered Framework
Move beyond theory by physically positioning yourself within the different levels of support to better understand the student experience. You'll gain a practical look at how resources shift and intensify as student needs change. You will leave with a clearer sense of how to transition support between tiers and get the right resources to the right students at the right time.
