The purpose of the coaching sessions are to help schools to implement and sustain Positive Behavior Interventions and Support (PBIS) in order to establish positive school climates for students and staff, leading to improved academic performance and safety.  

The coaching sessions will provide an opportunity to PBIS schools to receive technical assistance and support from SST-3 staff, and to learn from and share information with other school staff who are implementing PBIS.

Learning targets (will vary with each network meeting):

• Participants will gain a deeper understanding of the systemic framework of PBIS and its overlap with existing frameworks in their districts (e.g. OIP).

• Participants will understand how to use data-driven decision making in PBIS teams to improve implementation.

• Participants will develop their capacity to more effectively engage parents and community members in PBIS.

• Participants will gain an increased understanding of the implementation drivers (competency, organization and leadership) as they relate to PBIS.

• Participants will build their internal capacity to support their PBIS teams and school-wide implementation of PBIS.

• Participants will engage in a community of practice with other schools and districts.
