Booster Training for Staff and Students New staff & students Beginning of the school year and near holidays/breaks Based on data

Preventing Potential Problems Establish a plan to address problems and concerns during implementation Mechanism for communication (dialogue at staff meetings, note box, emails, PBIS meetings, etc…) Maintaining staff/student involvement Family involvement
