    Multi-Tier Behavior Supports (MTBS)

    The Multi-Tier Behavior Supports is a three-year training series that will assist district, charter, or school teams with the development of a school-wide approach for positive behavior management practices. This training is based on School-Wide Positive Behavior Intervention and Support (SW-PBIS) evidence-based elements. Cost:

    • Year One - $100 per team member for 2019-2020 cohort. Price may change slightly in future years based on costs.
    • Year Two - ADE/ESS funded through Procurement contract with LEA
    • Year Three - ADE/ESS funded through Procurement contract with LEA

    For more information, please review the detailed MTBS Implementation Continuum or contact Celeste Nameth.

    The Basic Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) to Behavior Support Plans (BSP) training consists of 7 on-line modules created by Portland State University. The modules should be completed in order with time in between each module to complete the Homework Assignment for hands-on application of the skills learned in each module before moving on to the next module. A pace of about one module per week is recommended, though in some cases more time may be needed to complete the Homework tasks assigned in a module.
