The DE-PBS Project hosted Dr. George Sugai, renowned speaker and co-director of the National Center on PBIS, at our 2015 state-wide conference on October 29, 2015!
This year’s conference focused on how schools can implement a multi-tiered system of support (MTSS) framework to promote positive school climate and address the needs of students at Tier 1 (schoolwide), Tier 2 (targeted) and Tier 3 (individualized). Additional guest speakers from DE-PBS schools shared their experiences and recommendations for implementing specific elements of a multi-tiered system of support (MTSS) for behavior.
Dr. George Sugai, co-director of the National Center of Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports and director of University of Connecticut’s Center for Behavioral Education & Research, presented on Multi-Tiered Systems of Support with an emphasis on selecting evidence-based interventions based on needs identified by data.
