Schools from Shawnee Mission, North Kansas City, Missouri, and Reeds Spring, Missouri, attended as well as Missouri SW-PBS consultants from the Kansas City and Springfield areas. Presentations were given by Horizons Alternative School and Trailridge Middle School in Shawnee Mission as well as the North Kansas City district and Reeds Spring High School. An additional short presentation shared MO SW-PBS information including training and support provided to schools by MO SW-PBS, the PBIS Missouri website, and Summer Institute 2011. The summit was an informative evening of sharing successful systems, data, and practices and highlighting what different schools have done to gain staff and student support and buy-in.

Over fifty preschool educators currently implementing Program-wide Positive Behavior Support attended the 2nd Annual Missouri SW-PBS Early Childhood Summit held on February 23, 2011 in Columbia, MO. The four hour networking event provided opportunities to learn, discuss and share ideas about teaching social skills, problem-solving with class-wide data, family involvement and maintaining developmentally appropriate practices with program-wide PBS. The participants enjoyed touring the Columbia Public Schools Title 1 Preschool facilities and hearing from guest speaker Dr. Becky Beckner, an Early Childhood Behavior Specialist with Columbia Public Schools. This annual event grew out of preschool educators requesting time to network and learn with other preschool educators implementing Program-Wide PBS, and is organized and facilitated by Regional SW-PBS Consultants. The 3rd Annual Early Childhood Summit will be held on February 22, 2012 in the Southwest region. |
