Sustaining Exemplar Applications for 2023-2024 schools and districts are available
Minnesota schools and districts are invited each school year to apply for Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) Sustaining Exemplar Recognition.
The purpose of Minnesota PBIS Sustaining Exemplar Recognition is to identify and recognize exemplar schools that have completed PBIS implementation and are continuing to achieve positive student outcomes. These schools and districts are able to demonstrate exemplary status by sustaining school-wide PBIS (SW-PBIS) with fidelity in the 2022-23 school year. Criteria are based on effective implementation of the essential components outlined by the national Center on PBIS.
In addition to individual school recognition, districts that are coordinating and supporting their PBIS schools can apply for district recognition. To be identified for district PBIS recognition, districts demonstrate their capacity for coordination, training, coaching and evaluation to support schools in their district to implement SW-PBIS.
For more information and the application links, visit the Sustaining Exemplar portion ofthe website.
