School Teams: Precision Problem-Solving

Precision problem-solving is the process of digging deep into your PBIS data.

Precision data helps place the problem in a context that our school systems can control, rather than placing the problem on our students.  Precision data also helps us determine what interventions will work the best with the students and their behavior.

The quality of decision-making depends on how well we precisely define the problem that needs to be solved.
