TIER II TRAINING RESOURCES

Welcome to the Arkansas PBIS Tier II Training Modules

The development of these modules was funded through the Arkansas State Personnel Development Grant. The modules were developed in collaboration with PBIS trainers and consultants from the Center for Community Engagement (CCE) at Arkansas State University and content specialists from the Arkansas Division of Elementary and Secondary Education.

The Tier II modules can serve multiple purposes:
  • Exploration and readiness: administrators and other school personnel can find out more about Tier II of PBIS and how to prepare for implementation
  • Initial training (each tier): after exploring, determining readiness, and securing a group commitment, school teams can begin Tier II implementation
  • Training of trainers and coaches: districts and schools can ensure sustainability by increasing local fluency in PBIS Tier II implementation
  • Booster training: after implementing Tier II, districts and schools can use the modules as go-to resources for strengthening implementation of Tier II
Some things to keep in mind as you begin to explore Tier II:
  • Tier II modules 1 – 4 provide foundational information for Tier II, so please begin with these modules before exploring the other modules.
  • Having a strong Tier I is essential to having a successful Tier II. If you are considering implementing Tier II, use the TFI and/or other indicators to see where you can strengthen Tier I.
  • Classroom PBIS is particularly important, as teacher feedback will be a critical component in Tier II interventions.
Materials included with each training module:
  • PowerPoint presentations: ready-made presentations, complete with trainer notes; can be used as-is with the flexibility of adding local context
  • Facilitator’s Guides: additional detailed notes (slide by slide), resources, activity suggestions, handouts, homework suggestions, and general information for preparing to present the module
