@DrAdrienneBland @MOedchat Also,that PBIS won't change Ss behaviors overnight, they want tier 2/3 help, before tier 1 implemented #moedchat

PrincipalCroley Aug 11 @ 10:58 PM EDT

Thanks everyone for tonight's #moedchat -- now I may not sleep because of your creative ideas.

chuckcbaker Aug 11 @ 10:59 PM EDT

@DrAdrienneBland @MrStevenKerr IMO, it isn't not embracing PBIS per se, but of the model/vision they have - a perspective shift #moedchat
