Program Evaluation

The Program Evaluation activity is a support mechanism to determine if funded activities help the Partnership meet Performance-Based Incentive System (PBIS) standards and also assists in the alignment of activities with PBIS.

Incredible Years

jasmine The Incredible Years: BASIC Parent Training Program – Early Childhood is a research-based program that is effective in reducing children's aggression and behavior problems and increasing social competence at home and at school. It is designed to promote positive parenting strategies and to assist parents in managing children’s behavior. This is accomplished through helping parents learn positive reinforcement, limit setting, non-physical discipline alternatives and problem solving strategies.
