In today’s episode, we are going to be talking about Positive Behavioral Interventions and Support (PBIS) with my guest and a dear friend of mine, Dr. Karen Robbie. After 23 years of serving as a classroom teacher, Dr. Karen Robbie went back for her doctoral to help shape and support future classroom educators. Dr. Karen realized that in order to make a difference in the classroom, that teachers needed to be equipped with evidence-based data to truly dig into the root cause of behavioral concerns in the classroom. 

Grab your notepad and be prepared to learn what PBIS is and how you can use it in your classroom on this episode of Morning Meeting.
