 Positive Behavior Support (PBS) is an evidence-based approach to prevention and/or early intervention concerning student problem behavior.  Use of PBS decreases the need for more intrusive, and labor intensive approaches (i.e., punishment or suspension) and can lead to both systemic as well as individualized positive changes.

Participants will learn about a systematic way of promoting effective school practices, creating supportive environments, decreasing student problem behavior, and designing and implementing behavior support plans for students who require individualized programs.  Dr. Knoster will describe the application of PBS within the three-tiered approach known as Response to Intervention.

 Please contact Stacey Potora, Office of Special Education, Bloomsburg Area School District, at 784-5000, if you have questions about the event.
