This four-part workshop focuses on implementing Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) in High Schools and is geared toward district and building leadership teams that are establishing a multi-tiered system to create a positive learning environment and promote student social, emotional and behavioral health. Recommended team members include district and building administrators or administrative designees, and team members who are representative of their school buildings. Participants will learn core features of PBIS and how the context of high schools impacts the development and implementation of systems and practices. Content will appeal to both new and existing teams implementing PBIS in high schools. Participants are requested to bring the following data to be used for action planning during sessions, if available: School-wide (SW) Behavior Matrix, SW Discipline Data report, TFI, SAS, S-SAMI and D-SAMI results.

Part 2: Power of The Matrix: Bringing it All Together - Understand the features of a well-designed behavior matrix
