2. To answer additional questions, and review the district and school commitments necessary for implementation…
See the PBIS Network training calendar to register your district planning team* for the next available AS50: Overview of PBIS and Necessary District Commitments in your region.
Note: The initial district planning team consists of central office administrators including (when possible), the superintendent or his/her designee, Director of Special Education, and one or more school principals.
The AS50 training is a free, half-day session, where district leaders will receive an overview of the PBIS process including discussion on systems, data, and practices at the district and school-wide level. In addition, participants will review the necessary district commitments for implementing PBIS according to the Commitment for Success Agreement.
