Presentation Abstract
The DeKalb/Rockdale GNETS program has been implementing PBIS for over three years. The basis of our program are our tier one strategies, a token economy, points and levels system, and school-wide special events. Token economies and point systems are in place at both centers as well as our elementary and middle transition programs. The levels and school-wide special events are only implemented at the two centers. During this interactive presentation, our tier one interventions will be explained in detail and ways of adopting these strategies in various settings will be discussed. Implementation fidelity will also be discussed, along with teacher buy-in, and student buy-in. This presentation will provide realistic implementation strategies for tier one interventions across settings.
