We’re thrilled to welcome you to three powerful days of learning, connection, and collaboration as we continue building bridges to support all students in Okaloosa County. This year’s institute is designed to equip educators, paraprofessionals, and service providers with strategies that not only address behavior but also strengthen academic outcomes and inclusive practices.

July 22: Blueprint for Success – Laying the Groundwork for Effective Instruction
🔹 Focus: Foundational teaching strategies, explicit instruction, and curriculum unpacking.
July 23: Bridging Behavior – Strategies for Connection & Classroom Success
🔹 Focus: Behavior supports, PBIS, social-emotional learning, and engagement strategies.
July 24: Pathways to Inclusion – Making Learning Accessible for Every Student
🔹 Focus: Universal Design for Learning (UDL), assistive technology, and inclusive practices.

Thank you for joining us on this journey towards building a brighter future for our students.
Warm regards,
Student Intervention Services

Wednesday July 23, 2025 9:00am - 11:00am CDT
Building on last year’s foundational training, this advanced session takes a deeper dive into effective behavior data collection methods for students with complex needs. Participants will explore how to select and implement the right data tools, analyze trends, and use the data to inform behavior intervention plans (BIPs) and decision-making within the MTSS framework. Through case studies, guided practice, and collaborative discussion, educators will refine their skills in collecting meaningful data that drives real results. This session is ideal for those who already have basic data collection knowledge and are ready to level up their practice.
