1. Supporting County Offices of Education with District-wide PBIS Implementation in California Esther Rubio, MPA Monterey County Office of Education Reba Morga Ed.S., M.A. Salinas Union High School District

2. Presentation Overview • This presentation will describe the efforts of the Monterey County Office of Education to build the capacity of school districts to scale up PBIS implementation across Monterey California. Capacity building activities will be discussed, along with the experiences of the Salinas Union High School District.

3. Presentation Objectives • Identify potential barriers and challenges to scaling-up PBIS implementation in Monterey County schools. • Identify the unique professional development and accountability roles and responsibilities of county offices of education related to PBIS across the districts in their region. • Become knowledgeable of key considerations in supporting districts in providing training and technical assistance in PBIS.

4. Current Issues in CA • In order to scale up PBIS implementation across multiple school districts in California, the unique relationship between county and district offices of education must be taken into consideration in the training and technical assistance process. • Historically, county offices of education have functioned as a primary provider of professional development to school personnel working in districts within the county. • Recent changes in state law have added a local accountability component related to funding authorization provided by county offices to the districts. • This illustrates the importance of establishing, building and sustaining the capacity of personnel within the districts to provide training and technical assistance in the area of PBIS implementation.

18. Santa Clara County Office of Education Technical Assistance Center • The Santa Clara County Office of Education’s PBIS Project in collaboration with colleagues across the California PBIS Coalition have focused efforts on building the capacity of county offices in order to scale up PBIS implementation across multiple districts. • Utilizing the PBIS Implementation Blueprint (Lewis et al., 2010) designed for building district capacity, the Santa Clara County Office of Education’s PBIS Project has engaged other county offices of education in the capacity building activities outlined in the blueprint. • In order to apply these activities at the county office level, the unique professional development and accountability roles and responsibilities of county offices of education in relation to the districts they work with must be taken into consideration in capacity building activities.

Building Capacity in Monterey County • Santa Clara County Office of Education began supporting the Monterey County Office of Education with capacity building activities in 2013-2014 • Activities have included • Training of trainers in Tiers 1, 2 & 3 and District Leadership Training • Technical Assistance to County Lead & Leadership Team • Grant writing support
