Do you feel like you are grasping at straws to implement and/or align initiatives related to academics, behavior, engagement, and improvement in attendance? Join us for this session in order to learn how the Building Assets, Reducing Risks (BARR) program aided in RDC Jr. High’s success in implementing all-inclusive structures to do just that. In this session participants will have the opportunity to learn about how we reduced behavior referrals and failure rate, while improving attendance, intentional support services, and school culture at RDC Jr. High school. This session will be helpful for schools interested in adopting structures to improve their MTSS structures and supports for academics and/or behavior, schools who want to improve their classroom learning environments and their school culture as a whole, as well as schools who are interested in improving their truancy diversion processes.
