Positive Behavioral Interventions & Support (PBIS)
Positive Behavioral Interventions and Support Series - During this four badge series teachers will develop an in-depth understanding of the concepts of PBIS as well as the skills needed to implement the strategies in their own classrooms. Teachers will be expected to collaborate with the cohort created around the different courses. They will have various assignments aimed at exploring the elements of PBIS. Additionally all badges will include projects and assignments designed to provide demonstration of mastery in a real world setting.
