I work with the students a Lewiston Middle School. I'm wondering what other schools are doing in regards to student and or parent teams. We are focusing on a "new" student video and filming PBIS procedures but we'd like to see what else is out there? Our students would like a wiki, a wordpress and ability to film and promote PBIS and positive events happening at our school.

Hi Folks!

I am looking for some feedback regarding implementing PBIS at the High School. I have explained some of the basics to the team I work with and they want to know how it will work with their students.

Thanks in…
