Strengthening Relationships to Strengthen Outcomes

Ali Hearn

The PBIS framework provides an opportunity to systematically make the process of strengthening relationships more explicit.  With the ability to increase the dosage of “relationship building” throughout the triangle, we are better equipped to help support ALL of our youth including the most vulnerable populations.  This session will explore the importance of relationships, how implementing PBIS with fidelity can increase the quantity and quality of student/teacher relationships, and how to increase dosage as needs of youth increase.  Participants will leave with specific examples of application at all three tiers, and considerations for using data to measure fidelity of implementation and student outcomes.

Journey to the Center of the Framework: Focusing on Equitable Systems to Support All

Michelle Polzin, Kent Smith

Are your current systems & practices getting in the way of supporting all students so that they are college & career ready? Changing systems and practices involves taking people on a journey that changes how they think, what they believe and how they interact. In this session, participants will learn how to create safe and supportive environments through discussion and application of key features of the WI Framework for Equitable Multi-Level Systems of Supports and The Model to Inform Culturally Responsive Practices. In this session, examples of how Wisconsin schools and districts have embarked on the journey will be shared.
