Building Bridges to Positive Behavior

Welcome to the 2024 Summer Institute: Building Bridges to Positive Behavior!
We are thrilled to welcome you to this year’s Summer Institute, where educators, support staff, and community members come together to enhance our collective efforts in fostering positive behavior and student success. Our theme, "Building Bridges to Positive Behavior," reflects our commitment to creating a supportive, inclusive, and thriving learning environment for all students & staff.
Throughout the institute, you have opportunities to participate in engaging sessions, hands-on workshops, and collaborative discussions. These sessions will equip you with practical strategies, innovative tools, and valuable insights to support student behavior and personal well-being.
Whether you are here to learn about trauma-informed practices, inclusive classroom setups, assistive technology, self- regulation, or any other enriching topics, we are confident that you will be inspired and empowered to make a lasting impact on your educational community.
Thank you for joining us on this journey towards building a brighter future for our students. Let’s connect, learn, and grow together!
