How are host sites chosen?
Currently we are inviting schools, regions, or school districts to sign up to be a host site for the BEST graduate concentration. We are looking for sites that have groups of at least 8 educators who are interested in the graduate course sequence and who want to work together as a team. Teams participate in the full graduate concentration, but practicum activities would be team-based emphasizing the development of new strategies or systems for prevention, teaching, and response to students with challenging behaviors in their school, region, or district. Teams receive follow-up technical assistance to assist with the implementation of their plans. Host sites must also provide a location for courses to be taught.
