Are you in a PBIS rut?
Have your teachers reverted to reactive discipline?
Would you like to reset the mind-set of your educators to a more proactive approach to PBIS?

If you answered yes, then join us for this day-long seminar where we will enhance what you already know about PBIS and focus on five keys to creating a school culture that allows the PBIS structure to really work.

The focus of this seminar will be on the proactive, systematic components that are put in place to decrease the likelihood that problem behaviors will occur.

Goals of the session include:

  • developing a deeper understanding of proactive behavioral instruction;
  • enhancing the structure necessary for school wide PBIS in a multi-tiered model of instruction; and
  • understanding the importance of mindset in all aspects of school wide PBIS.
School teams at any stage of PBIS implementation will benefit from this seminar. Practitioners with an entry level understanding will benefit from the emphasis on core principles of school wide PBIS. Practitioners with implementation experience will benefit from retooling the proactive teaching mindset. All participants will benefit from the digital resources provided.

The seminar will flow from establishing a core understanding of the importance of a proactive mindset to a review of structure. It will culminate in guided time for teams to apply the information gained throughout the day with the ultimate goal of enhancing and strengthening the culture in their own building.

Attendees will not leave disappointed. Kevin's extensive knowledge of behavior, coupled with Ann's day-to-day experience in building a culture that allows the PBIS structure to work, will provide attendees with proven actions and strategies to truly change the mindset of the adults who work in an educational setting.
