All of these are competing with rigorous academic standards.

We need effective and efficient ways to meet the needs of students!

Course Objectives

In this course you'll learn about the PBIS framework, including all three tiers of the multi-tier systems of support. Starting with collecting, analyzing, and using data to inform, plan, and implement behavioral supports. Then you'll learn to understand behavior better by learning about the underlying factors that influence student behavior. These factors include disability, trauma history, and function. You will learn how to develop strategies to prevent challenging behaviors. Finally, you'll learn how to better respond to challenging behavior with collaborative and restorative responses. You'll also learn about de-escalation techniques to help you better manage challenging situations when they arise.

At all levels, you'll learn techniques for using restorative practices that will help you repair harm and restore relationships.

If you work in schools - this course is for you!
