The BEST is a group of professionals who collaborate to support teachers and staff to develop and implement a continuum of positive behavior interventions. Our role is to come alongside district and school level staff and provide behavioral consultation, professional development, and resources to help support staff as they work with students to achieve behavioral success in the learning environment.
