Beyond the Referral
Building Tier 1 & Tier 2 Behavior and Intervention Systems for Schools
Two immersive days to move beyond reactive discipline and build the systems, teams, and practices that support student behavior, strengthen school culture, and create lasting change.

The Dana on Mission Bay | 9:00 AM–3:00 PM Both Days
WHAT IF YOUR SCHOOL SPENT LESS TIME REACTING TO BEHAVIOR AND MORE TIME BUILDING SYSTEMS THAT PREVENT IT?
Every school has students who struggle with behavior.
But too often, the adults supporting those students are working within disconnected systems. Expectations vary from classroom to classroom. Referrals lead to consequences without meaningful follow-up. Intervention teams spend their time discussing students without clear processes for moving them forward.
The result? Overwhelmed administrators, frustrated teachers, repeated incidents, and students who continue to struggle.
The challenge isn’t simply how we respond to student behavior. It’s how we design the systems that support students before, during, and after behavioral challenges.
BUILT FOR SCHOOL LEADERS AND INTERVENTION TEAMS
Beyond the Referral is designed for principals, assistant principals, counselors, MTSS coordinators, behavior specialists, teacher leaders, and district administrators responsible for student behavior and intervention systems.
Come individually—or bring your team.
Use these two days to examine your current practices, develop shared expectations, and build a coordinated plan you can begin implementing immediately.
THIS ISN’T ANOTHER CONFERENCE.
No sitting through two days of disconnected presentations. No leaving with a list of strategies and wondering how to get your staff to implement them.
Beyond the Referral is intentionally designed as a systems-building experience.
You’ll examine your school’s current practices, learn from real middle school examples, collaborate with other educators, and spend dedicated time designing systems for your campus.
You’ll build. You’ll get feedback. You’ll revise. You’ll leave ready to act.
LEARN → EXAMINE → BUILD → COLLABORATE → REVISE
TWO DAYS. Six QUESTIONS.
What’s driving behavior on your campus?
Look beyond referral counts to identify patterns, unmet needs, adult practices, and gaps in your current systems.
What should Tier 1 look like?
Build schoolwide expectations, consistent adult responses, relationships, proactive supports, and a predictable continuum of behavior responses.
What happens when Tier 1 isn’t enough?
Design processes for identifying students who need additional support, matching interventions to needs, monitoring progress, and adjusting support.
Who owns the intervention work?
Build a functioning Behavior & Intervention Team with clear roles, meeting rhythms, decision-making protocols, and accountability.
What happens beyond the referral?
Explore Tier 3 coordination, restorative responses, suspension reentry, relationship repair, and systems that reduce repeated incidents.
What happens when you return?
Turn your work into a practical 30/60/90-day implementation plan with clear ownership, priorities, and next steps.
Your Connected Campus Behavior and Intervention Blueprint
You won’t leave with another binder of behavior strategies. You’ll leave with a working plan for Tier 1 expectations, Tier 2 intervention pathways, team responsibilities, suspension reintegration, and your first 90 days of implementation:
- A current-state assessment of your school’s behavior and intervention systems
- Identified behavior patterns, system gaps, and priorities
- A Tier 1 schoolwide behavior and culture framework
- Clear expectations and consistent adult response practices
- A continuum of behavioral responses and supports
- Tier 2 identification, referral, and intervention pathways
- A menu of targeted interventions and progress-monitoring practices
- A Behavior & Intervention Team Blueprint with roles and meeting structures
- Tier 3 coordination and referral pathways
- Suspension reentry, restorative follow-up, and reintegration protocols
- A practical 30/60/90-day implementation plan
