The purpose of the Behavioral and Educational Strategies for Teachers (B.E.S.T.) Project is to develop a coordinated range of effective services for students with behavioral disorders. The project establishes model demonstration sites in Utah school districts, improves training opportunities for teachers, develops and disseminates replicable effective educational practices, and produces validated instructional materials that can be effectively disseminated to interested teachers, schools or school districts. The project also makes a concentrated effort to develop practices and procedures that efficiently coordinate with other provider agencies such as social services, mental health and health to provide a comprehensive system of transagency services for students with behavior problems. |
