"I’m Not Broken! I Do School Differently!" Implementing an Equity-Driven MTSS Model
The workshop asserts, the cultural attributes of students that are culturally different from the dominate culture, may experience conflict with the symbiotic relationship of academic and behavior in schools. The workshop will identify possible cultural incongruencies, which may impede school success for students of color. Behaviorists, PBIS Teams and General Ed teachers, will analyze and apply four key preventive schoolwide and classroom strategies (consciousness, congruency, culture and caring), which will support your MTSS framework. The workshop will provide a cultural behavioral assessment tool, to determine a rating of the cultural knowledge and actions of your PBIS Team and General Ed teachers, which is essential to deepen the district and site’s tier I & II MTSS implementation.
- Examine the impact of culture on learning and behavior of students of color and low income students. Participants will engage in small group discussion to analyze school culture that is/not congruent with students of color in Special Education.
- Assess personal and MTSS teams’ cultural knowledge, skills and actions as proactive strategies to meeting the learning and behaviors needs of diverse students. Each participant will be administered a self-assessment tool to determine their personal and teams’ knowledge, skills and actions of cultural consciousness.
- Apply culturally conscious learning and behavior strategies to increase learning and decrease classroom conflicts with student of color. Through experiential learning activities in the skill building session, the participants will use the taught strategies to discuss on-site implementation.
