Realistic Strategies for Bullying Prevention and InterventionThis session will provide an overview of the current knowledge about bullying in schools, and the most effective strategies for bullying prevention and intervention. Dr. Espelage will share some of the lessons and perspectives she has learned in her research and work in the last two decades on bullying in schools. She will suggest practical strategies for educators including individual, peer, family, and school level interventions to help students involved in bullying. She will share findings from a CDC-funded large-scale evaluation of a social-emotional learning program to reduce bullying, aggression, and alcohol and drug use. This study was conducted in 36 schools in Kansas and Illinois and included three years of implementation of the Second Step middle school program (Committee for Children, 2008).

February 21-23, 2013Sheraton Crown Center, Kansas City, Missouri

MISSION STATEMENTThe Midwest Symposium for Leadership in Behavior Disorders fosters

professional and family leadership that improves the lives of children and youth with emotional/behavioral disorders or related behavioral challenges.

MSLBD MSLBD1

MORNING (9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.)

1. Promoting Academic Performance in Students with Emotional Disabilities: Effective Teaching Behaviors

Students with emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD) often experi-ence difficulties learning academic skills and content. In many cases, these achievement deficits are related to inappropriately low levels of task engagement and significant learning challenges. Educators must find ways to improve academic engagement and performance in school. Findings from recent research improving written expression and analyzing teacher-student interactions will be presented. Specific instructional strategies used to help improve both task engagement and academic performance in written expression, including self-regu-lation and self-determination will be presented.Margo A. Mastropieri, Ph.D., Professor, George Mason University, Fairfax, Virginia

2. Verbal Aikido: Connecting with Detached and Defiant Kids

As we strive to reach and teach youngsters with emotional/behavioral challenges, it’s important to carefully monitor what we say and how we say it. One wrong word can press the “off” button on cooperation or touch a match to the powder keg fuse. Dr. Mac will discuss and practice verbal phraseology designed to prevent and transform apathy and outward defiance. This activity-filled session provides extensive practice in easy-to-implement positive and respectful techniques that:

WORKSHOPSThursday, February 21 – 9:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m.

HALF-DAY WORKSHOPS

Advance registration for all presymposium workshops is requiredNote: Workshops may fill up. Please mark a #1 selection and an alternate #2 selection for the morning

session AND a #1 selection and an alternate #2 selection for the afternoon session.

3. Working with Families: How to Get to Meaningful Partnerships

The importance of relationships between parents, family members, and professionals is a topic that has received considerable attention during the past decades, and yet educators still identify lack of paren-tal involvement and support as key obstacles in providing appropriate and comprehensive programming for students with EBD. This ses-sion will discuss the changing nature and function of “family”, the relationship between families and professionals in service delivery for students with EBD, and ways to identify and serve the needs of these families. Specific strategies and methods will be presented to assist educators as they hone their skills in developing and maintaining meaningful and effective involvement of all families, including those who are culturally or linguistically diverse.Participants will discuss the characteristics of families today and ef-fective and feasible methods to identify the range of needs of families of students with EBD. They will expand their communication strate-gies and approaches to involve parents in their child’s intervention program. Nancy Mundschenk, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Southern Illinois University Carbondale

4. Technology for Today and Tomorrow: Tools for Home and the Classroom

Participants will learn how Universal Design for Learning along with Web 2.0 tools and more (including iPads, Apps, and Games) can further enhance the lives of students with emotional/behavioral dis-orders. Free and inexpensive resources will be provided focused on social/emotional development, academic interventions, adaptive skill development, communication, and more.Sean Smith, Ph.D., Associate Professor and James Basham, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, University of Kansas, Lawrence

AFTERNOON (1:00-4:00 p.m.)

5. Understanding and Preventing Noncompliance and Escalating Behavior

The purpose of this presymposium workshop is to provide strategies, practices, and systems for understanding and responding to escalat-ing chains of problem behavior, based on a model developed by Geoff Colvin. The emphasis will be on prevention-based strategies that are organized within a multi-tiered behavior support framework. Strategies, guidelines, and examples will be provided. This workshop is appropriate for all general and special educators, school administrators, and support specialists (e.g., school psycholo-gists, counselors, and social workers).Participants will gain: 1. Model for understanding & describing escalat-ing chains of behavior 2. Assessment guidelines for understanding escalating chains of behavior 3. Intervention features for preventing & responding escalating chains of behavior.George Sugai, Ph.D., Professor and Carole J. Neag Endowed Chair, University of Connecticut, Storrs

6. Lost in the Dark? Shining Light on How to Select Evidence-based Practices for Students with ASD

With a myriad of possible interventions available for children/youth with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), knowing which practices to use can be confusing and frustrating. Presenters will provide an overview of evidence-based practices (EBP) based on the National Professional Development Center (NPDC) on ASD’s framework. Topics will include a definition of EBP and its importance, how to choose practices, where to find resources, and understanding the importance of intervention fidel-ity. Presenters will also go through the process of choosing and using one particular EBP – video modeling.At the session, participants will: 1. Define EBP and its importance, 2. Identify 3 interventions that the NPDC has identified as EBP, 3. Ask 3 questions that practitioners need to answer to be able to choose EBP, 4. Explain how to access EBP resources.Ann Cox, Ph.D., Co-Principal Investigator and Director National Professional Development Center on Autism Spectrum Disorder, Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute, Chapel Hill, North Carolina and Paul LaCava, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, Rhode Island College, Providence

7. Crafting Transition-Rich IEPs for Students with Emotional and Behavioral Disorders

Developing high quality secondary services for individuals with EBD is more than crafting legally compliant IEPs. Therefore, the presenters will discuss the relationship between the Individualized Education Program, Behavioral Intervention Plan, and the Individualized Transition Plan in or-der for participants to construct a meaningful and substantive transition-rich IEP. Further, the presenters will review how to coordinate and syn-chronize the major components of each of these supporting documents. Participants will understand and recognize and synchronize the critical components necessary in the development, implementation, and main-tenance of transition-rich IEPs for students with EBD.Chad Rose, Ph.D., Assistant Professor Sam Houston State University, Huntsville, Texas and Anthony Plotner, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, University of South Carolina, Columbia, South Carolina Master Teacher Presentation

8. Putting the FUN Back in Function: Functional Behavior Assessment and Data-Based Decision-Making in your Classroom

During this half-day presentation participants will learn how to use specific strategies and tools to answer questions related to challenging behavior within the context of a Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA). Strategies to bridge the findings of the FBA to an effective behavior inter-vention plan will be reviewed. Progress monitoring tools that make your current data meaningful and future data easier to gather and use will be demonstrated and shared. Participants will walk away with a better understanding of what makes challenging behavior tick, and how assessment can lead to effective interventions.Nicholas A. Gage, Ph.D., IES Postdoctoral Fellow Center for Behavioral Education and Research, University of Connecticut, Storrs and Seth Piro, Ed.S., School Psychologist, Challenging Behavior Consultant, Green Hills Area Education Agency, Woodbine, Iowa

Mastropieri, Ph.D., Professor, George Mason University, Fairfax, Virginia

2. Verbal Aikido: Connecting with Detached and Defiant Kids

As we strive to reach and teach youngsters with emotional/behavioral challenges, it’s important to carefully monitor what we say and how we say it. One wrong word can press the “off” button on cooperation or touch a match to the powder keg fuse. Dr. Mac will discuss and practice verbal phraseology designed to prevent and transform apathy and outward defiance. This activity-filled session provides extensive practice in easy-to-implement positive and respectful techniques that:

HALF-DAY WORKSHOPS

Advance registration for all presymposium workshops is requiredNote: Workshops may fill up. Please mark a #1 selection and an alternate #2 selection for the morning

session AND a #1 selection and an alternate #2 selection for the afternoon session.

3. Working with Families: How to Get to Meaningful Partnerships

The importance of relationships between parents, family members, and professionals is a topic that has received considerable attention during the past decades, and yet educators still identify lack of paren-tal involvement and support as key obstacles in providing appropriate and comprehensive programming for students with EBD. This ses-sion will discuss the changing nature and function of “family”, the relationship between families and professionals in service delivery for students with EBD, and ways to identify and serve the needs of these families. Specific strategies and methods will be presented to assist educators as they hone their skills in developing and maintaining meaningful and effective involvement of all families, including those who are culturally or linguistically diverse.Participants will discuss the characteristics of families today and ef-fective and feasible methods to identify the range of needs of families of students with EBD. They will expand their communication strate-gies and approaches to involve parents in their child’s intervention program. Nancy Mundschenk, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Southern Illinois University Carbondale

4. Technology for Today and Tomorrow: Tools for Home and the Classroom

Participants will learn how Universal Design for Learning along with Web 2.0 tools and more (including iPads, Apps, and Games) can further enhance the lives of students with emotional/behavioral dis-orders. Free and inexpensive resources will be provided focused on social/emotional development, academic interventions, adaptive skill development, communication, and more.Sean Smith, Ph.D., Associate Professor and James Basham, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, University of Kansas, Lawrence

AFTERNOON (1:00-4:00 p.m.)

5. Understanding and Preventing Noncompliance and Escalating Behavior

The purpose of this presymposium workshop is to provide strategies, practices, and systems for understanding and responding to escalat-ing chains of problem behavior, based on a model developed by Geoff Colvin. The emphasis will be on prevention-based strategies that are organized within a multi-tiered behavior support framework. Strategies, guidelines, and examples will be provided. This workshop is appropriate for all general and special educators, school administrators, and support specialists (e.g., school psycholo-gists, counselors, and social workers).Participants will gain: 1. Model for understanding & describing escalat-ing chains of behavior 2. Assessment guidelines for understanding escalating chains of behavior 3. Intervention features for preventing & responding escalating chains of behavior.George Sugai, Ph.D., Professor and Carole J. Neag Endowed Chair, University of Connecticut, Storrs

6. Lost in the Dark? Shining Light on How to Select Evidence-based Practices for Students with ASD

With a myriad of possible interventions available for children/youth with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), knowing which practices to use can be confusing and frustrating. Presenters will provide an overview of evidence-based practices (EBP) based on the National Professional Development Center (NPDC) on ASD’s framework. Topics will include a definition of EBP and its importance, how to choose practices, where to find resources, and understanding the importance of intervention fidel-ity. Presenters will also go through the process of choosing and using one particular EBP – video modeling.At the session, participants will: 1. Define EBP and its importance, 2. Identify 3 interventions that the NPDC has identified as EBP, 3. Ask 3 questions that practitioners need to answer to be able to choose EBP, 4. Explain how to access EBP resources.Ann Cox, Ph.D., Co-Principal Investigator and Director National Professional Development Center on Autism Spectrum Disorder, Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute, Chapel Hill, North Carolina and Paul LaCava, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, Rhode Island College, Providence

7. Crafting Transition-Rich IEPs for Students with Emotional and Behavioral Disorders

Developing high quality secondary services for individuals with EBD is more than crafting legally compliant IEPs. Therefore, the presenters will discuss the relationship between the Individualized Education Program, Behavioral Intervention Plan, and the Individualized Transition Plan in or-der for participants to construct a meaningful and substantive transition-rich IEP. Further, the presenters will review how to coordinate and syn-chronize the major components of each of these supporting documents. Participants will understand and recognize and synchronize the critical components necessary in the development, implementation, and main-tenance of transition-rich IEPs for students with EBD.Chad Rose, Ph.D., Assistant Professor Sam Houston State University, Huntsville, Texas and Anthony Plotner, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, University of South Carolina, Columbia, South Carolina Master Teacher Presentation

8. Putting the FUN Back in Function: Functional Behavior Assessment and Data-Based Decision-Making in your Classroom

During this half-day presentation participants will learn how to use specific strategies and tools to answer questions related to challenging behavior within the context of a Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA). Strategies to bridge the findings of the FBA to an effective behavior inter-vention plan will be reviewed. Progress monitoring tools that make your current data meaningful and future data easier to gather and use will be demonstrated and shared. Participants will walk away with a better understanding of what makes challenging behavior tick, and how assessment can lead to effective interventions.Nicholas A. Gage, Ph.D., IES Postdoctoral Fellow Center for Behavioral Education and Research, University of Connecticut, Storrs and Seth Piro, Ed.S., School Psychologist, Challenging Behavior Consultant, Green Hills Area Education Agency, Woodbine, Iowa
