Webinar Description: Concerns about racial bias and the expulsion and suspension of young children with challenging behavior from early education and care programs has recently received notable national attention including a joint policy statement from the US Departments of Health and Human Services and Education. This webinar provides an important discussion on how program-wide implementation of the Pyramid Model (i.e., early childhood PBIS) is used to ensure that all children, including children with persistent challenging behavior, are supported within a program without the use of expulsion or suspension. Recorded in November, 2015.
