Stop treading water.
by Dr. Tim Grivois and Tiffany Emerson PBIS stands for Positive Behavior Interventions and Support.

While most behavior support plans include strategies for preventing unexpected behavior, few seriously consider the root causes of challenging behaviors outside of immediate triggers.

Help staff support students more effectively through digital Check-in / Check-out
-by Tim Grivois-Shah, Ed.D. Check-in / Check-out (CICO) is a relatively simple framework for social, emotional, and academic support. While CICO is typically easy for schools and youth-serving programs to implement, most schools use CICO as an intervention for no more than 10-15% of their enrollment. The basics of CICO are simple.
