RtI: Defining Features
2001 Surgeon General’s Report on Youth Violence: Recommendations
• Change social context to break up antisocial networks
• Improve parent effectiveness
• Increase academic success
• Create positive school climates
• Teach & encourage individual social skills & competence
School-based Prevention & Youth Development Programming
Coordinated Social Emotional & Academic Learning Greenberg et al. (2003) American Psychologist
• Teach children social skills directly in real context
• “Foster respectful, supportive relations among students, school staff, & parents”
• Support & reinforce positive academic & social behavior through comprehensive systems
• Invest in multiyear, multicomponent programs
• Combine classroom & school- & community-wide efforts
• Precorrect & continue prevention efforts
Lessons Learned: White House Conference on School Safety
• Students, staff, & community must have means of communicating that is immediate, safe, & reliable
• Positive, respectful, predictable, & trusting student-teacher-family relationships are important
• High rates of academic & social success are important
• Positive, respectful, predictable, & trusting school environment/climate is important for all students
• Metal detectors, surveillance cameras, & security guards are insufficient deterrents
Characteristics of Safe School Center for Study & Prevention of Youth Violence
• High academic expectations & performance
• High levels of parental & community involvement
• Effective leadership by administrators & teachers
• A few clearly understood & uniformly enforced, rules
• Social skills instruction, character education & good citizenship.
