Social, Emotional, and Behavioral (SEB) Supports

Social, emotional, and Behavioral (SEB) Supports are part of a Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS). The Positive Behavioral Intervention and Supports (PBIS) framework and the Social-Emotional competencies from the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) are both leveraged to provide training and resources for districts and schools implementing evidence-based, positive, and proactive practices that support and respond to students’ SEB needs. If you are interested in SEB support for preschool children, please visit our EC MTSS page.

Data Tools

Data Tools

SWPBIS Tiered Fidelity Inventory

The SWPBIS TFI (https://www.pbis.org/resource/tfi) was developed as a single fidelity measure that can assess the implementation of SWPBIS at all three tiers and support action planning to improve implementation efforts. This one tool can support teams in monitoring the implementation of PBIS or SEB supports.

More information on how to get started can be found on the MiMTSS SWPBIS TFI page

Classroom Management Observation Tool

The Classroom Management Observation Tool (CMOT; Simonsen et al., 2020) is a brief tool that outlines the evidence-based classroom management practices we hope to see in all classrooms. Teachers can use this tool to self-reflect on their current practices. Coaches can use the CMOT to observe in classrooms, and then provide individual and group feedback. 

Register for the Classroom SEB Practices Coach Session to learn more about using the CMOT.
