The BEST Project is an initiative through the Vermont State Department of Education and CDCI, at the University of Vermont. The goal of the project is to increase and strengthen the regional capacity across Vermont so that schools and their communities are better able to anticipate and respond to the challenging behaviors of their students. In an effort to help schools develop more effective strategies and interventions, each school year, workshops, in-services, university coursework, institutes, and district grant opportunities are provided. The project features training and technical assistance in Life Space Crisis Intervention (LSCI), Non-Violent Crisis Intervention (CPI), the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program, and most recently, Positive Behavior Supports (PBS).
