Exclusionary disciplinary practices have been shown to negatively impact student and teacher wellbeing, ineffectively change student unwanted behavior, be a detriment to student academic success, and prone to racial disproportionality. There is a need for an alternative to exclusionary discipline system that focuses on preventative, instructional and sustainable supports to build positive student social emotional behavioral skills.The ISLA process can be used as an intermediate step prior to more intensive Tier 2 and 3 interventions as well as in conjunction with individualized supports for students with more intensive needs.
Session Objectives: This session will include a rationale for ISLA within our PBIS Framework, potential benefits for students and staff, and the role we play in inclusion. In addition, we learn ways to build relationships, respond to behavior, and create a classroom inclusive break system.
