EDU3004 - Behavior Screening Tools

Kapiolani Community College - CECS

Course Description

Many school systems are adopting comprehensive, integrated, three-tiered (Ci3T) models of prevention to meet the academic, behavioral, and social needs of an increasingly diverse student population (Lane, Kalberg, & Menzies, 2009). Such models provide a structure for identifying and supporting students with, or at risk for, learning and behavior problems that may impede school and long-term life success (Golly, Sprague, Walker, Beard, & Gorham, 2000). Three-tiered models of prevention are more likely to be effective when early identification procedures are in place and effective targeted supports are available. Systematic, school-wide behavior screening procedures are available to schools for the early identification of students at risk for problem behaviors in an effort to provide them with the targeted supports they need. This session serves as a guide for using behavior screeners to systematically identify and provide necessary support for students with behavioral challenges. Participants are strongly encouraged to bring a school-site team member or one other faculty member.
