EPLI Essential Foundations Bootcamp

The application for the EPLI Essential Foundations Bootcamp is open. 

The Essential Foundations Bootcamp is an integration of the universal supports, behavioral practices, and instructional strategies from Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS), Educational Supports and Strategies, and other START training modules and resources. 

The Bootcamp consists of four days of content and coaching and two days of Trainer Days, which are collaborative days intended to strengthen training and presentation skills, for a total of six days.

Current Trainers are highly encouraged to attend to strengthen their skills and knowledge and support new trainers! All trainers will benefit from this opportunity because there is substantial value in shared learning and reviewing the full Essential Foundations content. Current Trainers may choose to attend any portion of the Essential Foundations Bootcamp.

New Trainers, Inactive Trainers, and Coach Leaders are also invited to attend.

The application is due October 16, 2024.
