2022-2023 BEST Team
Program Support | Member & Trainer | Member & Trainer | Project Co-Director | Project Co-Director |
The goal of the BEST project is to increase and strengthen capacity across Vermont, so that schools and their communities are better able to anticipate and respond to the needs of students who are at risk of or experiencing social, emotional, and behavioral challenges.
To help schools develop more effective strategies and interventions, the BEST Team facilitates a variety of workshops, in-service training, university coursework, webinars, and an annual Summer Institute. Training and technical assistance are presented within the framework of a multi-tiered system of supports, specifically, Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS). They are available to school staff, families/caregivers (including kin, foster, and adoptive caregivers) community members, and a variety of interagency workforce members.
