Mission Statement

The County-Wide Academic Behavior Team seeks to build positive relationships with local teams as we collaborate alongside teams to identify the individual strengths and needs of students that will help them each reach their full potential in their least restrictive environment. 

Collaboration opportunities include individualized and group training, district/building professional learning, side by side modeling and coaching, and shared information on best practices related to the diverse individual student and classroom needs.
