Ep. 67: The Role of a BCBA on RTI & MTSS Teams in Schools

Being a BCBA in a public school means more than behavior plans—it’s about collaboration, data, and supporting teachers on RTI and MTSS teams. In this episode, we share tips for building relationships, starting with Tier 1 strategies, and making sure your role feels valuable (not overwhelming!) to your general education colleagues.🔑 Key Takeaways• Start simple: Review Tier 1 supports before jumping to FBAs or complex plans.• Bring tools: Have ready-to-use data sheets and low-prep interventions for teachers.• Collaborate first: Ask teachers what’s already working and build from there.• Show, don’t tell: Bring visual examples like token boards or contracts to spark ideas.• Build trust: Celebrate teacher wins and keep follow-ups short, consistent, and encouraging.📦 Resources & Links• Free Tier 1 Interventions Checklist → https://abainschool.com/tier1• Related Episodes: Ep. 58 Bridging the Gap → https://abainschool.com/ep58 and Ep. 14 Life as a School Based BCBA guest → https://abainschool.com/ep14🤝 Join Us💬 Share how you support RTI/MTSS teams in the Misfit Behaviors Facebook Group → https://abainschool.com/misfits🌟 Subscribe: Don’t miss future episodes with practical BCBA strategies → https://www.youtube.com/@themisfitbehaviorists📢 Share this episode with your RTI team, BCBA colleagues, or administrators to spark collaboration and support!Join the Facebook group for collaboration and freebies: The Misfit Behaviorists😍 More, you say?
