Five Ways Conscious Discipline Strengthens MTSS
Meeting the needs of diverse learners can be a tall order, whether they’re in self-contained, mainstream, or inclusion classrooms. Part of the solution has been the use of Multi-Tiered Systems of Support, or MTSS. Most schools have MTSS in place to provide universal, targeted, and individualized academic (RTI) and behavioral (PBIS) support. However, many are finding that these systems alone do not fulfill students’ needs.
Even with a focus on child behavior management strategies, many schools continue to see a rise in behavioral issues, and a strong need for academic support and behavior intervention. Districts and schools servicing diverse learners are coming to similar conclusions: the support systems put in place to meet students’ needs are in need of support themselves. Conscious Discipline practices are uniquely structured to provide the support and guidance necessary to reach all students within the infrastructure of MTSS… READ MORE
Here's What You'll Learn:
Big Idea
Explore the many ways Conscious Discipline integrates within and supports tiered systems such as MTSS, RTI and PBIS to scaffold students’ emerging executive skills, support their self-regulatory function and bolster their academic stamina.
Who Should Attend
This event is geared toward administrators, counselors, specialists, and educators working with students K through 5th grade. Prior knowledge or implementation of Conscious Discipline is helpful but not necessary to benefit from this event.
Your Facilitators
Conscious Discipline Certified Instructor Jenny Barkac will draw on her personal experience as a classroom teacher, behavior interventionist and longtime Conscious Discipline practitioner to help you understand and apply Conscious Discipline with tiered systems.
What are Tiered Systems?
Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS), Response to Intervention (RTI) and Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) are tiered systems for supporting student growth. MTSS brings RTI and PBIS together to use data to match students’ academic, behavioral, and social-emotional needs with instructional resources to provide differentiated support.
Strengthen your use of tiered systems and ensure student achievement by integrating Conscious Discipline into your practices.
Learn concrete ways to strengthen your differentiated supports for academic, behavioral, social, and emotional needs utilizing Conscious Discipline’s comprehensive strategies, structures, and interventions. At this intensive 2-day workshop, you will:
- Discover how using a tiered level of support system to differentiate instruction can help students manage and regulate their nervous systems.
- Explore the Conscious Discipline Brain State Model to understand how brain states impact behavior, and the ability to access and process information (learning).
- Learn about executive function skills, how they can be impaired due to trauma, and how you can strengthen them through specific activities.
- Discover how to embed Conscious Discipline strategies into everyday lesson plans and classroom procedures to increase self-regulation, cognitive endurance, and academic stamina.
- Understand the essentials of self-regulation, including how to manage your own dysregulation.
- Acquire specific strategies for building a School Family to increase success, achievement, and wellness for both students and
- Learn about structured tools that help you provide effective support via a system that mimics academic interventions.
