The 18th Annual Early Years Conference focus is on understanding the approach to a Multi Tiered System of Support. Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) is a framework that promotes equity and access by engaging “ALL” through a tiered approach that uses differentiation of services and supports. “All means ALL”.

The purpose of this interactive presentation is to explore how school leaders and classroom implementers can incorporate trauma-informed practices within a Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) framework for young learners. PBIS provides an effective multi-tiered framework for incorporating the knowledge about childhood trauma into an established system of support rather than a separate competing initiative. This presentation will briefly review trauma informed MTSS guiding principles and features including teams, use of data, ensuring early access, formal process for selecting interventions, outcome and fidelity measures and on-going professional development. Participants will also be engaged with activities that focus on the Pyramid Model framework and how universal and secondary practices can: 1) create foundations and prevention practices to support safe and nurturing environments, 2) prioritize relationships and connections, and 3) build social-emotional-behavioral wellness practices to promote resiliency.
