MTSS Mini Summit

When students struggled with behavior, there was often more beneath the surface—thoughts and emotions that weren’t easily observable. This session explored how educators could uncover what was really driving student behavior, expanding on the standard “Antecedent, Behavior, and Consequence (ABC)” approach.

Whether they were school or district leaders, teachers, counselors, or support staff, participants left with practical tools to better understand and support the students who needed it most.

Participants took a deep dive into the research behind behavior risk screening and how an integrated MTSS approach broke down common barriers to support every student.

Featuring a real-world success story from Bellefonte School District, the session explored how schools used data to drive action and deliver more efficient, effective student support.

Participants joined this session to discover how to create spaces where students thrived. Together, they explored practical, immediately applicable strategies to help educators navigate behavioral conversations with increased confidence and effectiveness.

The session dove deep into the dangers of power struggles and provided practical tools for avoiding them without losing composure. With a fast-paced, fun, and humorous approach, it was packed with engaging content that participants were excited to put into practice and share with colleagues.

This 15-minute spotlight highlighted a new offering from Branching Minds: Canopy Case Management. With suicide risk screening and threat assessment protocols, functional behavior assessments, and confidential case planning, Canopy helped teams collaborate to better support students with intensive needs.
