State Support Team Region 8 420 Washington Ave. Cuyahoga Falls, OH 44221

Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) Training Presenters: Presenters will include consultants from Region 8 State Support Team

Description:
PBIS is a framework or approach for assisting school personnel in adopting and organizing evidence-based behavioral interventions into an integrated continuum that enhances academic and social behavior outcomes for all students. PBIS IS NOT a packaged curriculum, scripted intervention, or manualized strategy. PBIS IS a prevention-oriented way for school personnel to (a) organize evidence-based practices, (b) improve their implementation of those practices, and (c) maximize academic and social behavior outcomes for students. PBIS supports the success of ALL students (PBIS.org).
This training will teach building teams to create and implement the Universal Tier (Tier 1) of a PBIS framework. Building teams will learn the rationale for implementing this framework. In addition, teams will develop school-wide expectations which will be used in their buildings. Teams will also develop a system of reinforcement, as well as data systems which will inform decision making and help monitor behaviors at the building level. This workshop is a 4-part series, in which teams are required to attend all 4 sessions.

Audience: Building/District level behavior teams, BLT’s, DLT’s

•	Identify the rationale for implementing PBIS •       Understand aspects of the PBIS framework
