Description

PASS helps school staff serve students with serious emotional disturbances in the general education setting, using individualized programming that incorporates best practices. Programming combines targeted, intensive instruction with behavior monitoring and coaching support for the student and the teacher. The program aims to assist the student in developing self-management skills and relies on data to drive decisions regarding student programming. 

Schools that have implemented PASS report that their students with ED/BD are experiencing academic and behavioral success in mainstream settings. As an added benefit, they are making significant reductions in the number of students placed in more restrictive environments as well as reductions in the number of office referrals and out-of-school suspensions. 

They also report improved: 

  • Attendance 
  • Participation in inclusion 
  • Graduation rates 

PASS professional development is available through Safe & Civil Schools. We will work with you to determine the professional development and support that best meets your needs. Call 800.323.8819 or email info@safeandcivilschools.com.
