Creating Positive Environments to Maximize Student Learning

Intended Audience: Leadership teams, coaches, and administrators

Prerequisite: PBIS tier 1 trained

Students spend most of their time in the classroom while at school, so it is no surprise  that most problem behaviors occur in that setting. The most effective PBIS systems are ones where adults ensure that the classroom is designed for ALL students to be successful. The focus for this workshop will be to connect tier 1 foundational adult practices that are based on developing skills while considering underlying beliefs about disciplinary practices. Through a team lens, this workshop will focus on deepening understanding of the role adults play in creating proactive environments that maximize student learning by creating equitable, safe, and supportive learning environments that are critical to student success. Using systemic approaches through an equity lens, teams will learn how to structure classroom instruction with practical proactive strategies to address and scale up:

• Relationships with students/families
• Structuring environments
• Behavioral and academic content teaching
• Prompting/pre-correcting
• Feedback

Teams will:

• Understand key elements that make up a positive proactive learning environment
• Learn proactive ways to increase student skills in the learning environment
• Develop an action plan to build team capacity to train and support all staff based on meaningful feedback from stakeholders
