BIT Foundations

This two-day course is designed for schools that are in the early stages of behavioral intervention team development or that do not yet have a team. The focus on this training is two-fold. First, participants will understand the common best practices for team formation and operations. Second, they will be given the practical, hands-on tools to return to their campus and beginning the process of implementing a BIT. While foundational in nature, this course offers much more than a basic overview of how a team functions. The material is designed to offer those forming a BIT the key skills needed to develop their team efficiently and with an eye towards effectiveness. This course should be considered as a pre-cursor for the two-day BIT Best Practices Certification Course offered by NaBITA. The course will offer a concise and easy to understand overview of how BITs function in three distinct phases: gathering information, the analysis and application of a rubric based on collected information, and the intervention and follow-up plan.
