A two-day event to establish reliability using the TPOT™, an in-depth tool that provides information on how well teachers are implementing practices related to universal, targeted, and individualized support. Reliability certification supports Inclusive Practices coaches to conduct a classroom observation and teacher interview, uncovering detailed information about the quality of 14 key social-emotional teaching practices, noting red flags that indicate areas for immediate support, and observing how teachers respond to challenging behaviors. The session concludes with a performance based assessment that leads to reliability certification.
