Supporting Secondary Students with Intensive Needs During the Pandemic

Supporting Secondary Students with Intensive Needs During the Pandemic

Developed By
National Center on Intensive Intervention and the Center on Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports

The National Center on Intensive Intervention and the Center on Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports have partnered to present a webinar series focused on providing educators with tools to support secondary students during virtual learning and the return to in-person learning. This series is intended for educators at the state and local level who work with students with intensive behavioral needs in secondary school settings.

Webinar 1: Check and Connect: Implementation and Adaptation in a Virtual Environment

At the core of Check & Connect is a trusting relationship between the student and a caring, trained mentor who both advocates for and challenges the student to keep education salient. Relationships are more important than ever given that current status of education and ongoing virtual learning. This webinar offered guidance to support virtual mentor meetings, strategies from sites currently implementing Check & Connect, and information from Check & Connect trainers who are making training options more accessible.

 

 

Webinar 2: Early Warning Systems: Using Data to Plan for the 2021-2022 School Year

In the webinar Jenny Scala (Principal Researcher at American Institutes for Research) and a panel of district- and state-level representatives from Ohio provide information for schools and districts on ways in which Early Warning Systems (EWS) can better support students, methods to leverage EWS practices previously in place during this 2021-2022 school year, and considerations for intervention and the use of data during the return to school in the fall.

 

 

Webinar 3: Intensive Intervention: Supporting Secondary Students with Intensive Behavior Needs

This webinar will discuss methods for how educators at secondary schools can plan for and implement screening to identify those with intensive intervention needs in behavior. In addition, we provide an overview of intensive interventions that can be used to support students identified with intensive behavioral needs as they return to school.
