Families play an important part in their child's education and social development.” (http://www.pbis.org/family)

8 Step = SUCCESS

“By emphasizing the individual needs of each student, the Eight-Step process provides teachers with a systematic method for delivering instruction and assessing progress so that all students achieve to their highest potential. Benefits of the Eight-Step process include:       giving flexibility to teachers in how to teach by focusing on what to teach emphasizing key skills for every student enabling students to retain previously learned skills in order to build higher skills replacing subjectivity with a focus on results aligning planning, instruction, assessment, and support to student performance establishing a climate of achievement and success” (http://www.broward.k12.fl.us/k12programs/ciss/8_step/html/why8.ht
