Each submission will undergo a peer-review conducted by a panel of qualified individuals currently involved in implementing school-wide positive behavior support (SWPBS). Selections will be based on quality and practicality of the proposed material, the need for balanced content, and evidence of inclusive practices.

General Guidelines for Proposals
Presentations that address research, practice, applications, issues and related aspects of school-wide positive behavior support are required. We are particularly interested in sessions that contribute to the topics and concerns related to the conference strands of district level initiatives, primary preventions of SWPBS, secondary systems of SWPBS, and individualized, tertiary behavior supports.
