Welcome to Team Based Learning
TBL Values

We believe that, with support, the student in TBL can make positive changes toward:

  • Accessing public school curriculum
  • Engaging in appropriate social interactions
  • Becoming safer at home, school, and in the community

We believe that the students' families:

  • Have multiple strengths that, with collaboration and strong communicating, can help us find the individualized interventions that will help their children make progress
  • Deserve support in their efforts to develop sustainable community-based resources

We believe that it is important to hold both the students and ourselves to high expectations.

We believe that positive behavior supports, strength based assessment, building positive relationships, and evidence based practices are essential components of woking with students who are emotionally and behaviorally challenged.
