Brief Program Description
Research shows when addressing universal interventions, students with influence can play a critical role in the prevention of negative social behaviors on campus. In this session, Participants will learn how to utilize a diverse cross section of student leaders to gather data and facilitate a series of activities that create communication, connections, care and community among a student body. Utilizing best practice strategies, student leaders serve as the liaison between the student body and the adults on a campus. Schools implementing PBIS and Multi-Tiered Systems of Support have found Youth Participatory Action Research Programs to be a perfect fit for student involvement at a Tier 1 intervention level.
