Restraint / SeclusionKDE, in partnership with Kentucky Educational Television (KET), is developing content for a web-based option for the training required of all school personnel, pursuant to Section 6(1) of 704 KAR 7:160, Use of Physical Restraint and Seclusion in Public Schools.

The training focuses on positive behavioral supports and interventions to help school personnel:

•increase appropriate student behaviors, •decrease inappropriate or dangerous student behaviors, and •respond to dangerous situations.

How Long Will It Take?

•The training will consist of four (4) online modules that address all components required by Section 6 (1) of the regulation.

•We anticipate that this training can be completed within four (4) hours.

•It is projected that the training will be available to districts in mid-June, 2013.

CIITS UpdateThe Student Portal is now available in CIITS.  This new feature allows teachers to assign content to students in one or more of their sections. 

CIITS New School Year Resource: CIITS will be updated to reflect the upcoming 2013-14 school year on July 1, 2013. As a result, all Key Performance Indicators and Data Dashboards will not reflect any data until the first day of school when student enrollment is active.  A new resource is posted in CIITS that describes how to access previous school year data.

Aligned CC 360 resources are now available in the Classrooms Module.

Professional learning opportunities are being posted in CIITS.

Training Opportunities: resources are being added to support new enhancements in CIITS.

CIITS District Highlight - Marshall CountyImplementation Strategies

CIITS Trainers/District Coaches- Mrs. Leah Beth and Mr. BJ Hayden, along with Mrs. Cothran self-trained in CIITS. Together we watched webinars, experimented and reviewed the teacher and Administrator resources. We then planned the agendas and presentations for coach pullouts, PLC meetings, curriculum pullout days and after school PD’s.

CIITS School Coaches- Each school had a CIITS coach that received a stipend- they met in August, October, January and February. We paid for a sub for the whole day. They trained with Mrs. Beth, Mr. Hayden and Mrs. Cothran on half of the day and worked with their school staff the other part of the day. We also paid for a sub for each coach to have a day to work with teachers in their buildings during plan time.

PLC’s & CIITS-  Marshall County school district has a PLC meeting each month on a Wednesday, with school releasing at 2:00 the following Tuesday.  Central Office staff, all school administrators and teacher PLC leaders all attend. At each meeting we presented a different function of CIITS. The PLC teacher leaders and CIITS coaches are not the same so this spread information to different groups of teachers. They then took information to their school PLC groups on the early release day.

19

Middle School Curriculum Days- all middle school science, ELA and math teachers were pulled out to work on curriculum pacing and alignment. During this time we embedded CIITS related to their classes. We shared resources, created and took express test, demonstrated lesson planner etc.

High School Plan Block Training- the high school is on a 4x4 block with 90 minutes of plan time/ two times in the year Mrs. Beth worked during plan time to show/demonstrate/help teachers with the tools in CIITS.

CIITS PD- Secondary and elementary CIITS PD sessions were offered after school for teachers needing extra PD hours. They were conducted by Mrs. Beth, Mr. Hayden and Mrs. Cothran. We had multiple sessions with high participation rates.

Administrator Meetings- we updated school principals at admin meetings on the info that had been shared with CIITS coaches.

PD 360- as the end of the year approached and various teachers needed PD credit we put together a training to show our principals how to set up PD for their teachers under the focus tab.
