Season 7 Trailer: 8 Connections to PBIS

PBIS is everywhere and in everything! That’s what’s on our minds and in the research, in our seventh season of 8 with 8. You might think that SST8 would have nothing new to say about PBIS. After all, we have been aggressively supporting PBIS for over a decade! But once you see the power of this framework, you can’t help but see all of the ways that it strengthens or supports other educational priorities. Some of the connections we’ll cover this season are obvious: PBIS plays a big role in decreasing student discipline, promoting social-emotional learning, providing trauma informed care, and of course addressing student mental health needs. But what does PBIS have to do with curriculum and instruction? How can PBIS help you with preschool licensing? And, perhaps most important to our administrator colleagues: what can PBIS teach us about how to create a thriving workplace, overcome burnout, and onboard new staff?

For just about every challenge our profession is facing today, implementing PBIS can play a significant role in helping address it. So get ready for “8 Connections to PBIS”, 8 with 8’s seventh season - coming to your favorite podcast app or the Anchor website, starting next Friday, October 28th.
