Suggested Script:
Tell audience that schools should complete the District and School Readiness Agreements before beginning to ensure sustainable success.
Tell audience to use the Criteria documents to choose a qualified professional development trainer and coach that can deliver school outcomes.
Tell the audience that Exploration, Awareness and Planning for PBIS can take 1-3 years before district have the infrastructure to support school to implement PBIS at fidelity. That’s OK. Being ready will lead to greater outcomes.
Are you ready to get started? Great!
Begin by downloading our Getting Started packet and completing the District and School Readiness Agreement. If you don’t have all the pieces in place yet, get a team together to begin this process. Research across the nation has repeatedly shown that districts and schools get the most out of training and coaching when they’ve completed a Readiness agreement first.
Next, review the School Outcome Criteria and Service Provider Criteria documents so you are informed and prepared when choosing high quality professional development services to lead your multi-year implementation. Some districts take 1-3 years for their Exploration and Awareness building phases before getting started. That’s OK because this effort will be more likely to lead to measurable outcomes. And that is what our students, teachers, and communities deserve.
