Ci3T 1: Introduction to Ci3T

This micro-credential course is an introduction to the Comprehensive, Integrated, Three-tiered (Ci3T) Model of Prevention. It offers an overview of this proactive approach to meeting the academic, behavioral, and social and emotional well-being learning needs of students. Via recorded presentations, readings, and exemplars, participants will learn the purpose of Ci3T, how the model is built using a data-informed process, how it can be implemented in the school and classroom, and the role low-intensity strategies play in the context of Ci3T. 1-Intro to Ci3T is a pre-requisite for later Ci3T micro-credentials, including specific teacher-delivered, low-intensity strategies.

Ci3T 2: Low-Intensity Strategies

This Ci3T micro-credential familiarizes earners with a range of straight-forward, research-based strategies that, when designed, implemented, and assessed appropriately, can help students to improve in the academic, behavioral, and social arenas. After completing the micro-credential's presentations, readings, and assignments, badge earners will be able to identify seven effective teacher-delivered, low-intensity strategies; explain the role of assessment with low-intensity strategies; and plan for their appropriate implementation. After successfully completing Ci3T 2-Low-Intensity Strategies, badge earners are qualified to take any of the Ci3T strategy-specific micro-credentials. (Pre-requisite: Ci3T 1-Intro to Ci3T.)
