This training helps school teams bring school-wide PBIS into the classroom by deepening their understanding of what core PBIS practices look like in daily instruction. Teams will learn how to support teachers in consistently implementing effective classroom practices and how to organize systems that develop pro-social skills and de-escalate behaviors that interfere with learning. Participants will leave with an actionable plan to strengthen schoolwide support for positive, predictable classroom environments.
