Program: School Improvement

Dates: 7/10/2025 to 7/11/2025

If we have learned anything through teaching during this pandemic, it is that the term "behavior” doesn't simply refer to a disruptive student. The term behavior refers to academic behaviors (skill-based) AND social behaviors (will-based) and both need to be taught and reinforced in every tier of systematic SEL supports at your school. Fostering positive behavior and SEL by utilizing the PLC at Work® and RTI at Work™ processes will boost your school's positive school culture, increase attendance, improve behavior, prepare students for life, and address inequities in school discipline.
