Resources
Similar to data from academic screening tools, data from universal behavior screening tools can be used in tiered systems of support to (a) detect students for whom Tier 1 efforts may be insufficient, (b) inform teacher-delivered, low intensity supports, and (c) connect students with evidenced-based Tier 2 (for some) and Tier 3 (for a few) strategies, practices, and programs.
Systematic Screening: Considerations and Commitment to Continued Inquiry
We are fielding questions coming from across the United States about systematic screenings designed to detect students with initial signs of internalizing (e.g., extremely shy, anxious, and/or social withdrawn) and externalizing (e.g., noncompliant, aggressive, and/or defiant) behavior patterns. These data are used to plan positive instructional experiences, moving away from previous wait-to-fail approaches. We have provided guidance for selecting, installing, and using screening data within Comprehensive, Integrated, Three-Tiered (Ci3T) models of prevention on the page below and now, respectfully offer these considerations. Our sincere thanks to our trusted partners for engaging in this important inquiry with us for more than 15 years to date. — September 9, 2020
