academic instruction and reinforcement across all facility settings.• Increase consistent implementation of research-based behavioral and

academic instructional strategies among all agency staff across housing unit, education, community, and individual youth.

• Reduce use of and need for reactive discipline measures in facility (e.g., separation referrals, zero tolerance, unit restrictions) for all youth.

• Increase academic achievement levels and social/emotional skills of all youth.

• Implement with fidelity and monitor effective intervention plans for youth with the most comprehensive behavioral and emotional needs that support their success across housing unit, school, and community.

• Increase capacity of all settings to successfully prevent academic and/or social failures of all students.
