STEPS: How we will accomplish this goal
SUPPORTING STUDENTS AT TIER I ON THESE STANDARDS
Students will practice the skills in stations with one station dedicated to the skill with the teacher mostly remaining at that station to offer feedback. The other stations will work on skills that support the skill of catching and moving.

School Climate & Support Goals
Behavior Goal
Goal: What are we trying to achieve
Ensure 100% of students have behaviors NOT resulting in suspension or expulsion.
Grant CEA staff will utilize a responsive MTSS and the Character Strong SEL curriculum to support strategies that reduce the opportunity for unexpected behaviors of students in the classroom, resulting in a reduction of incidences and a 100% non-exclusionary response to behaviors.
Root Cause Analysis:
Students may not be able to access curriculum at the level it is being presented to them resulting in unwanted or unnecessary behaviors in the classroom. Students may not have the communication skills or language necessary to ask for support when needed. Use of scaffolding techniques to support students understanding, such as graphic organizers sentence frames and visual aids can support. Change groupings frequently to allow interaction with diverse peers and foster social connections.
