To support Delaware public schools in creating learning environments that promote the well being of all students, the DE-PBS project routinely provides professional learning training to schools at all three tiers of implementation. Professional learning is designed to directly assist school staff in creating an integrated system of supports to prevent behavioral problems and address the needs of all students.
