Why Stone Soup?

Initiatives Demands are high, Resources are low

Students’ needs are intense, staffs’ abilities are stretched

Fragmented efforts, but very well-intentioned

If we pull the best from all the initiatives out there, and work them together, it can work for all

Best Practice, in Practice

*PBIS as the overarching structure

*District support and direction*In the Buildings…
