Effective Behavioral and Instructional Support Systems

Improving student outcomes is the primary goal of the EBISS Project. School districts and early childhood programs have received assistance to implement and sustain a continuum of effective and sustainable school-wide academic and behavioral support systems. A blended model of Response To Intervention (RTI) and Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) allows districts and programs are able to meet the academic and behavioral needs of all students.

The Oregon Department of Education and their contractual partners provide on-going professional development and technical assistance to EBISS District Leadership Teams on a variety of topics related to literacy and behavior.

EBISS has been funded by two consecutive 5-year State Personnel Development Grant (SPDG) from the federal Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP). State Personnel Development Grants assist states with personnel preparation and professional development to improve outcomes for infants, toddlers, children and youth with disabilities.
