Description:

Educators can address the critical issue of equity in education for students who experience significant behavioral challenges within a comprehensive school setting. Students experience significant and unique barriers that hinder their access to quality education. Oftentimes, these students are placed in specialized education settings, such as alternative schools, therapeutic programs, or specialized classrooms far from their community. There is a pressing need for a structured tiered system of support that acknowledges their traumatic experiences, focuses on their educational outcomes, and includes transitioning planning for future success. Equity is intrinsic to MTSS, which is also embedded within each tier of support for PBIS. Join us as we share best practices and strategies to support a diversity of learners within specialized educational settings and empower each student to their fullest potential.
