Integrating Trauma-Sensitivity within a Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) Framework / 2-Session Virtual Training / Bronx RPC Spaces Remaining: 47
***NOTE: This is a 2-session virtual training, participants are expected to attend ALL sessions. *** This professional learning series will be presented in two parts (2 days). 9/15/22 and 9/22/22. The training examines the ways in which a public health crisis, school crisis and/or types of civic unrest may be significant sources of stress and/or trauma for the students whom we support. Additionally, the training explores the biological, cognitive, emotional and behavioral effects of trauma on student development and the ways they in turn affect a student’s academic and behavioral functioning in the classroom. Participants will engage in content that explains how to use the data, systems, and practices components of a multi-tiered systems approach to behavior to provide differentiated evidence-based supports. Throughout this training participants will explore and determine if their school-wide Tier 1 practices reflect a trauma-sensitive approach to responding to student behavior. As a result of this training, participants will gain an understanding of what trauma is and how it affects learning. They will be able to apply several strategies to help build their school's trauma-sensitive support system. Participants will learn how district and school leaders can incorporate trauma-sensitive practices within a Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) framework which ensures that trauma practices can be integrated into a system that links these efforts to student outcomes. Intended Audience: Administrators, Teachers, Special educational teachers, Support staff. In order to receive full CLTE credits, all registrants MUST attend both sessions.

Alternatives to Suspension/ 2-day In-Person Training| BRONX Regional Partnership Center Spaces Remaining: 30
The issue of in and out-of-school suspensions of students, including students with disabilities, who demonstrate escalated classroom behavior, has become controversial and divisive leaving many staff members at odds. This two-day training is designed for building level administrators, teachers, school psychologists and counselors and is intended to help participants understand that exclusionary practices have significant short and long-term negative effects on academic, social-emotional, health and wellness, and family outcomes of students. The training will highlight alternative approaches to discipline that lead to improved student outcomes. Participants will ground themselves in a common understanding of suspension, removal, and discipline, as well as influences, impacts, policies, and procedures that contribute to the on-going suspension crisis in schools today. Throughout these two days, participants will learn and explore effective research-based strategies for responding to student behavior and appropriate alternatives to suspension, which have significantly fewer negative impacts on student or family outcomes. Throughout this training there will be several resources that will be provided and referenced, so participants should bring their laptops or tablets to access the materials.
Expected outcomes:
Participants will be understanding the purpose of using alternatives to suspension. They will gain knowledge of the recent research on school suspensions, examine scenarios when alternatives to suspension may be used to change behavior, learn how a systemic change on the approach to discipline and problem behavior can affect school climate, and learn about practical, replicable, research-based strategies to use as effective and proactive alternatives to suspension.

Integrating Trauma Sensitivity within a Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) Framework / In Person Training | Bronx Regional Partnership Center Spaces Remaining: 29
This training examines the ways in which a public health crisis, school crisis and/or types of civic unrest may be significant sources of stress and/or trauma for the students whom we support. Additionally, the training explores the biological, cognitive, emotional and behavioral effects of trauma on student development and the ways they in turn affect a student’s academic and behavioral functioning in the classroom. Participants will engage in content that explains how to use the data, systems, and practices components of a multi-tiered systems approach to behavior to provide differentiated evidence-based supports. Throughout this training participants will explore and determine if their school-wide Tier 1 practices reflect a trauma-sensitive approach to responding to student behavior. As a result of this training, participants will gain an understanding of what trauma is and how it affects learning. They will be able to apply several strategies to help build their school's trauma-sensitive support system. Participants will learn how district and school leaders can incorporate trauma-sensitive practices within a Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) framework which ensures that trauma practices can be integrated into a system that links these efforts to student outcomes. Intended Audience: Administrators, Teachers, Special educational teachers, Support staff.

The Language of Classroom Management: Promoting Positive Teacher-Student Interactions and Relationships | Part 1/3 | Virtual Training | Manhattan RPC Spaces Remaining: 149
Intended Audience: General and Special Education Teachers, Social Workers, Psychologists, Related Service Providers, Paraprofessionals, and Administrators. Effective classroom management is a precursor to successful academic instruction in the classroom. This three-part professional learning series offered by the Manhattan Regional Partnership Centers will explore evidence-based, instructionally oriented interventions, practices, and strategies for effective behavior management within multiple tiers of systemic of support. The focus will be on universal (Tier 1) procedures that can be used to establish a positive and engaging classroom environment. Participants will learn behavior management strategies that focus on prevention, explicit instruction of behavior and social emotional learning, as well as ways to effectively reinforce positive behaviors and respond to unwanted behaviors. During the first session of this series, we will provide an overview of the tiered framework and delve into best practices in arranging the physical environment, as well as defining, teaching, and acknowledging expectations and rules within the classroom setting. Session two will cover best practices in defining and teaching classroom procedures and routines, active supervision, as well as behavior specific praise. Lastly, the third session of the series will explore best practices in responding to inappropriate behavior, integrating class-wide group contingencies, and engaging students through multiple opportunities to respond. Participation in all sessions of the series is highly recommended.

Alternatives to Suspension/ 3-day Virtual Training| BRONX Regional Partnership Center Spaces Remaining: 30
***This is a 3-day training and participants are required to attend all sessions.***
Session dates are May 9th, 16th & 23rd.
The issue of in and out-of-school suspensions of students, including students with disabilities, who demonstrate escalated classroom behavior, has become controversial and divisive leaving many staff members at odds. This two-day training is designed for building level administrators, teachers, school psychologists and counselors and is intended to help participants understand that exclusionary practices have significant short and long-term negative effects on academic, social-emotional, health and wellness, and family outcomes of students. The training will highlight alternative approaches to discipline that lead to improved student outcomes. Participants will ground themselves in a common understanding of suspension, removal, and discipline, as well as influences, impacts, policies, and procedures that contribute to the on-going suspension crisis in schools today. Throughout these two days, participants will learn and explore effective research-based strategies for responding to student behavior and appropriate alternatives to suspension, which have significantly fewer negative impacts on student or family outcomes. Throughout this training there will be several resources that will be provided and referenced, so participants should bring their laptops or tablets to access the materials.
Expected outcomes:
Participants will be understanding the purpose of using alternatives to suspension. They will gain knowledge of the recent research on school suspensions, examine scenarios when alternatives to suspension may be used to change behavior, learn how a systemic change on the approach to discipline and problem behavior can affect school climate, and learn about practical, replicable, research-based strategies to use as effective and proactive alternatives to suspension.
