We have established the McAuliffe CARES Program based on the

Positive Behavioral Intervention and Supports Initiative,

also called the Multi-Tiered System of Supports.

This process is recognized by the Maryland Department of Education;

it focuses on improving a school's ability to teach and support positive behavior for all students.  It includes procedures and processes for ALL students, ALL staff, in ALL settings.

PBIS is a team-based process for systematic problem solving, planning and evaluation.
