A BTAM team is building a management and support plan for a student whose motivation is grievance-based due to experiences with bullying and harassment.

The team connects with the MTSS/PBIS Tier 1 team to get information on the reported bullying and harassment events so that it can use the data regarding locations, times, others involved, bullying behaviors, etc. to guide its decision-making and more effectively address factors of concern for the student, direct resources to address the student’s motives, and create an environment in which violence is less likely.

The BTAM team uses the information to guide modifications to the student’s daily schedule to reduce the likelihood it will have contact with the students perpetrating the bullying and harassment.

As well, the BTAM team works collaboratively with the MTSS/PBIS Tier 2 team to include the student in an existing social skills group led by the counselor to receive additional instruction and support their identified SEB needs (e.g., anger management, conflict resolution, social skills).

Following implementation of a management and support plan, the MTSS/PBIS Tier 1 team continues to share data on new reports of bullying and harassment with the BTAM team so that it can stay aware and informed as they work to support the student.

The MTSS/PBIS Tier 2 team shares both fidelity and outcome data for the social skills group which the BTAM team uses during its meeting to progress monitor implementation of the management and support plan and the student’s level of success.
