MiBLSi: Michigan's Integrated Behavior and Learning Support Initiative This website provides information for schools and educators interested in learning more about PBIS and it's use in the state of Michigan. This state-wide initiative website has been created by the State of Michigan's Department of Education and the Office of Special Education. The design of the project is to help schools in Michigan develop effective positive behavior support systems.

School-wide PBIS Implementation Guide This resource allows educators across the state of Michigan access to a detailed plan to implement **PBIS** within their own school or district. This booklet is often used as the guiding force during initiation of PBIS. (Dunlap, K., Goodman, S., McEvoy, C., & Paris, F. (2010). //School-wide positive behavioral interventions & supports implementation guide.// Retrieved from [])

OSEP: Technical Assistance Center on Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports This website provides support for schools and educators who are working on PBIS on the **national** level. Some of the featured sections on this website include: a PBIS newsletter, resource catalog, and presentation materials that are available for use. We have found this site to be incredibly helpful while initiating PBIS at our school.

CHAMPS: A Proactive & Positive Approach to Classroom Management This text, by Dr. Randy Sprick, provides educators with a detailed plan to help **manage student behavior** and **increase student motivation**. CHAMPS is an acronym that can be used in the classroom to help students know what is expected of them during different activities in the room. The letter C represents conversation, the letter H stands for help, the letter A represents activity, the letter M is for movement, and the letter P stands for participation. Using **CHAMPS** as a guide, teachers can help students learn the expected behaviors during a whole-group lesson, small-group work, transition time, etc. For each letter of CHAMPS there are images that go along with what students are expected to do.
