Course Description

Number of Credits:1

The goal of this course is to expand the infrastructure to lead and support Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) implementation across Idaho while increasing awareness of PBIS as an effective, evidence-based strategy to positively impact student outcomes. Within this cohort model course, Idaho SESTA will provide professional development by supporting district and school-level planning, school team training, technical assistance, and ongoing coaching specific to Tier. Within this course, school teams will walk away with an understanding of how the implementation of Tier 2 systems, practices, and data can positively impact students that need additional support.  School teams will demonstrate their understanding of Tier 2 through the development of proactive systems and interventions.
