2. Bridging Universal to Secondary
(See Section 1 in the Secondary Training and Resource Manual, Overview to Secondary Intervention Systems)
a) Complete the “Working Smarter” Asset Inventory
1) Identify existing formal and informal systems/programs that address student academic and behavioral concerns
2) Decide with the school whether certain support systems (Teams, Committees, processes, etc.) will be combined for more efficient practices based on the completed inventory of system supports
3) Team membership is adjusted based on the decision to combine existing support systems

6. Develop Secondary Level Interventions
(See Section 5 in the Secondary Training and Resource Manual, Developing and Monitoring Secondary Level Interventions)
a)Develop menu of supports for secondary level interventions (Designed for students who are not responding to Universal interventions. These interventions are implemented in a similar manner for all students. Eligible students might need additional social, academic, and/or organizational support.)
b)Link interventions with defined assumed functions
1)If seeking or avoiding adult attention
(e.g. check-in/checkout / HUG/other)
2)If seeking or avoiding peer attention
(e.g. social skills groups/mentoring/peer
groups/other)
3)If avoiding academic engagement
(e.g. homework clubs/tutoring/PASS academic
support/other)
c)Train all staff on targeted group interventions as they are developed
d)Add targeted group interventions to Secondary System flow chart
e)Establish data collection method for each intervention on menu of supports
