OSEP Technical Assistance Center on PBIS 2019 PBIS Leadership Forum

Featured Poster Presentations

 Join us on Thursday, October 3rd, 2019 for our Poster & Networking Session from 5 to 7 pm! 

Poster presentations provide a fun and informal opportunity to learn what other implementers have done and learned implementing PBIS and to generate discussion about how PBIS is actually working. This year’s poster presentations address a variety of topics along the School-wide PBIS continuum including classroom application, aligning systems, tier II and tier II Interventions, school climate, collaborative partnerships, restorative practices, early childhood, alternative settings and more!

• Featured posters are in a 36” X 48” tabletop display format and some will have handouts for you to take with you.
