Teleconference on Program-Wide PBS: The Pyramid Model

Lise Fox and Mary Louise Hemmeter

What is program-wide PBS (Positive Behavior Support) for early childhood? Is it different from the school-wide PBS effort that is being implemented across the nation? How is it related to the adoption of the Pyramid Model? This web and teleconference event included an on-line presentation and teleconference question and answer discussion about program-wide adoption of the Pyramid Model and its relationship to PBS (May 2009).
