Thoughts?

We should do our best to pro-actively remove barriers to learning so that students with disabilities have equal access to challenging and rigorous education and are active members of the community.

The #1 pain point that schools identify with Tier 2 is the need to go so many different places to pull together a solution. CharacterStrong's Tier 2 Solution CST2 brings it all together and includes ongoing monthly training as apart of the solution.

Love this quote “We don’t rise to the level of our goals, we fall to the level of our systems.” - @JamesClear As we like to say at CharacterStrong: Systems over goals. Too often we set goals in education without creating the systems that enable the attainment of those goals.

What if every educator implemented positive greetings at the door? 20% increase in academic engagement & cut disruptive behavior in half. Four components: 1. Authentic greeting, 2. High interest entry task, 3. Precorrection, 4. Brief restorative conversation. @CharacterStrong

Many schools put off Tier 2 work because Tier 1 is not robustly in place. While Tier 1 is the foundation of prevention, there are students who need Tier 2, and waiting until Tier 1 is fully in place means those students' needs will not be met. Focus on Tier 1 & Tier 2 together.

Student behavior (all behavior) is directly related to the environment in which it occurs. Student behavior can be shaped & supported through daily practices that educators have the ability to implement to promote relationships, predictable routines, and shared expectations/norms

Instructional leadership is not about improving teachers; It is about creating the conditions where teachers can improve themselves. @SteeleThoughts #essentialtruths

Deep Kindness is proactive, it takes courage, it is consistent over time, it understands what people need, it is conscious of how your needs are different than mine. @houstonkraft #AMLE22 #BetterTogether

“Kindness always costs us something…it costs us time & energy…It costs us courage…Kindness is a behavior…We can’t just post the posters about it. We have to teach it.” @houstonkraft @CharacterStrong #amle22

Purposes of Tier 2 targeted support 1. Provide early, timely, targeted support for some students as close to when the need emerges 2. Increase the precision of support based on root cause underlying the student's need 3. Activate a coordinated, team-driven problem-solving process
