Getting Started: Application for School Training

Every year, the PBIS State Leadership Team selects Minnesota schools that apply to take part in our 2-year PBIS implementation training cohort. Our Regional Implementation Projects coordinate training and support implementation in the northern, southern and metro areas of our state.

Starting with Cohort 20, there will be two options – in-person and online through a virtual connection.
Please use the information provided in the following sections to decide which type of participation would best meet your needs. Contact us if you have any questions about getting started.

Cohort 20 In-Person Training Application

We will select Minnesota school teams who apply to take part in our two-year Cohort 20 School-Wide PBIS Training (Summer 2024-Spring 2026) based on complete and accurate information provided in the application. A strong emphasis is placed on:

  • Evidence of data system that informs behavioral practice;
  • Administrative support and participation;
  • Demonstration of staff buy-in/informed commitment; and
  • Capacity to participate in all required trainings and complete all PBIS assessment tools (TFI, SAS, etc.) in the Data Calendar-at-a Glance.

The Summer, Fall and Spring training dates for all regions for both years are included in both the application and overview document: Download an overview of the In-Person Cohort 20 application (docx)
