...Reflection My teacher education studies began at the end of the ‘80s with the behaviour management component focusing on relevant theories and theorists in addition to the practical experience gained in schools from direct teaching and observations. PBIS, with its multi tiered approach, is a new concept to me even though I have been involved in education for over twenty years.
