Did you know that:

= Preschool expulsion rates are 3 times higher than K-12 expulsion rates?

= Young students who are expelled/suspended are 10 times more likely to drop out of high school?

= Over 10% of preschool teachers in state-funded programs expelled a preschooler in the past year?

= Hispanic and African-American boys represent 46% of all boys in   Pre-K, but 66% of those suspended?

= Boys make up 79% of preschoolers suspended once.

= Early learning teachers report that coping with challenging  behavior is their most pressing training need.

Over the course of the multi-day series, participants will build and design a framework to address these concerns through the implementation of the core components of Positive Behavior and Intervention Support (PBIS) at the Universal (Tier 1) level. This series addresses the unique  context of early childhood while assisting with the alignment to school-aged PBIS. SST 3 consultants will provide support with the implementation and evaluation of adult fidelity to the framework. Teams need to be prepared to meet at least monthly outside of the PD sessions.

A team registration packet is provided on the pages  following the flyer below. Please complete the team registration forms and agreement form and submit to Yvonne Daycak.

This PD will be conducted via Zoom. Links for each meeting date will be emailed to team members once the team registration and agreement forms are completed and submitted to Theresa Richardson. It is imperative that an email address, OPIN, and date-of-birth are listed for each team member so that attendance can be recorded in STARS and OCCRRA.
