Dr. Rob March, Director of Effective Education Practices

National consultant and director of Effective Educational Practices Dr. Rob March will present how to transform empirical research into practical strategies. His current research focuses on positive behavior support as it applies to school wide and classroom systems, the efficient and effective use of functional assessment methodology to develop individual support plans and early intervention to prevent reading failure. Dr. March helps School-Based Teams in Behavioral Supports develop effective school discipline procedures using a Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) framework. PBIS is a research-validated approach to implementing proactive strategies for defining, teaching, and supporting appropriate student behaviors. Teams will select expectations, transform expectations into teachable behaviors, develop a system of acknowledgements and consequences, and engage in ongoing evaluation of program outcomes.

Dr. Rob March, Director of Effective Education Practices

National consultant and director of Effective Educational Practices Dr. Rob March builds upon the foundation presented in Year 1. Year 2 is designed to support teams through the entire process of creating a school-wide multi-level behavioral program focusing on designing targeted interventions for challenging students. The Year 2 cohort is designed to help teams define and clarify Tier 2 and 3 supports. Dr. March will reinforce the foundational need for a strong Tier I structure while focusing on clarifying, defining, and providing Tier 2 and 3 supports. This year will focus on proactive strategies for defining, teaching and supporting appropriate behaviors to build a continuum of positive behavior support for all students within all area of a school including classroom and non-classroom settings.

Dr. Erica Lembke:   Trainer for the National Centers on Progress Monitoring and Response to Intervention

Curriculum–Based Measurement (CBM) is an assessment approach designed to measure the growth of student proficiency in core educational skills that are predictive of positive school success. This all-day workshop will provide an overview of CBM and discuss how to use CBM screening and progress monitoring data to make instructional decisions within a Response to Intervention (RtI) model.  Steps involved in the RtI data-based decision making process will be outlined as well as procedures for establishing data-based decision making rules within a tiered intervention system.
Key Topics:
- Overview of CBM and its use in an RtI model
- CBM tools and resources
- Basics steps in an RtI data-based decision making process
- Data decision-making rules in an RtI framework
- Use of problem-solving steps to examine individual, grade-level, class - and school wide data
