School Helps Children at Risk

About this project
<p>The aim of the project is to provide support for schools so they could build their own capacity to respond to the needs of vulnerable children and defend their rights. Support will be provided through the implementation of a Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports framework (further as PBIS), supporting children in following school behavior expectations and providing effective interventions to children in need of behavioral support. The PBIS framework helps schools to build a safe and predictable environment and involves students and parents in building positive school environment. The pilot implementation and adaptation of PBIS to Czech conditions will be carried out at three elementary schools with a higher proportion of children at risk. At the system level, the aim of the project is to incorporate the principles of PBIS into the educational content of universities preparing future teachers and within the further education of pedagogical staff. The project will be implemented in cooperation with experts from the USA and the Netherlands, who will provide professional training for future PBIS coaches and implementation teams in schools. Trained PBIS coaches for the Czech Republic will be then competent in disseminating the PBIS framework after completing their training. The project will also include several events for the general public, where the principles of PBIS and the benefits of implementing the PBIS framework not only for vulnerable children, but all pupils and school staff will be introduced.</p>
