  Functional Behavioral Assessment (FBA) and Behavior Intervention Plans (BIPs)

  Even when implementing a universal behavior support program to a high level of fidelity, some students will need additional support. CESA 2 consultants can train school staff in the design and use of Functional Behavioral Assessments (FBA) and Behavior Intervention Plans (BIPs). Ongoing coaching or review of FBA and/or BIPs is also available.

  Non-Violent Crisis Intervention (NVCI) Training

  The Non-Violent Crisis Intervention® training program is a holistic behavior management system based on the philosophy of providing the best care, welfare, safety, and security for staff and those in their care, even during the most violent moments. The program focuses on preventing disruptive behavior by communicating with individuals respectfully and with concern for their well-being. The program teaches physical interventions to be used only as a last resort—when an individual presents an imminent danger to self or others—and all physical interventions taught are designed to be non-harmful, non-invasive, and to maintain the individual’s dignity. Follow-up debriefing strategies are also key components of the training program.

  This training will benefit school staff members who may find themselves in a position to intervene or diffuse a potentially physical or violent situation, including teachers, paraprofessionals, principals, guidance counselors, social workers, office personnel, and psychologists.

  Positive Behavioral Intervention and Supports (PBIS)

  PBIS is a systemic approach to proactive, school-wide behavior based on the Multi-Level System of Support model. It is NOT a curriculum, but rather a decision-making process that guides selection, integration, and implementation of evidence-based behavioral practices and strategies for improving important academic/behavior outcomes for all students.

  Pyramid Model

  The Pyramid Model is created by the Center for the Social and Emotional Foundations for Early Learning (CSEFEL) and the Technical Assistance Center on Social Emotional Intervention for Young Children (TACSEI). Based on the public health model, the Pyramid Model looks to guide educators, families, and other early childhood professionals, specifically for those involved with children up to five years old. The model promotes positive social, emotional, and behavioral outcomes for ALL students in the education systems and gives plans to help children with or at risk delays and disabilities in their early development.

  Through workshops and consulting, CESA 2 professionals will help implement the Pyramid Model in your school system.

  Social Emotional Learning (SEL)

  In order to help our students become College and Career Ready, it is essential that they develop social and emotional skills. In addition to this being a worthy aspect of education on its own, research has shown students with strong social and emotional skills are able to perform better academically and better engage in instructions. CESA 2 staff are able to support schools in their journey toward ensuring staff and students develop strong social and emotional skills.

• Trauma Sensitive Schools (TSS)

  Trauma Sensitive Schools (TSS)

  Given the high exposure of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACESs), toxic stress, and resulting trauma, CESA 2 staff are trained to support our schools and school district staff n adopting philosophies and practices to become more Trauma Sensitive. By partnering with DPI and utilizing online learning modules, CESA 2 professionals are able to develop educators through knowledge building and coaching to individuals, leadership teams, and school systems. When adopting a Trauma Sensitive School approach, schools are acting to enhance students' educational outcomes by reducing barriers related to trauma. CESA 2 consultants also assist schools to ensure this lens is applied through the existing school framework (i.e., Equitable MLSS) and is additive to other school efforts, such as SEL, behavior programs, etc.
