Creating Safe Learning Environments for ALL Students Within Colorado Multi-Tiered System of Supports - Four-Part Series (VIRTUAL)

The Office of Learning Supports is providing a virtual Training Series designed to support the creation of systems and structures necessary to build positive learning environments at Tier 1 within the Colorado Multi-Tiered System of Supports. Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports will act as the foundation and catalyst for transforming social culture. Additionally, we will explore how to integrate bullying prevention and other social emotional curriculum into one cohesive system, considerations to promote buy-in and support, and the use of implementation science to ensure a successful launch.

Although there are no requirements, it is encouraged that school level teams attend including an administrator, a team lead, representation from general and special education, family liaison, and someone with expertise in behavior. There is an expectation that attendees will need the capacity and skill to convey information gained from the learning opportunities to implementation team members to encourage application and effective implementation. Those in district level support positions are also encouraged to attend.
