Ci3t is a Comprehensive, Integrated 3 tiered model of prevention for students. This method combines an integrated approach of looking at the whole child. Ci3t folds in the combination of working with students in the academic, social emotional and behavioral arenas. The system combines each of these topics as necessary parts of each student's school life.
One of the many things I like about this approach is many of my days in administration are met with school teams who are having issues with students in more than one of these three areas. Once the layers of the "onion" begin to get peeled away, many times we realize the issues revolve around academics slipping because of something going on at home. Family issues or worry about not having enough food. Many of our students are caregivers to younger siblings. You can literally fill in these gaps with a slew of items because each student has individual needs to be met.
Ci3t is a great place to find resources that include different behavior scales, social emotional materials and video clips dealing with ideas of how to help students achieve to their highest level. I would highly recommend you taking a look at https://www.ci3t.org
