New PBIS Wiki Site Allows Networking Across Regions

You are cordially invited and encouraged to sign on to our new PBIS Wiki Website! As users, you will be granted writer status and you will be able to post good news and good works that are outcomes from using PBIS principles in your classrooms and schools. Occasionally, the front page will have a question and we invite your responses. This new interactive site is designed to be a forum for networking and collaboration with each other. In addition, we will include frequently requested resources from Early Childhood (EC PBIS) and from School-Wide (SW PBIS) Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports.

To access this site, go to http://pbisaea11.pbworks.com and request access on the right-hand side of the page. Either Heartland’s webmaster or Carol Price will accept your request.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Carol Price, Professional Learning & Leadership Consultant, at cprice@aea11.k12.ia.us.
