WANT TO SUPPORT DISTRICTS AND SCHOOLS WITH PBIS?
Consider earning a micro-credential leading to endorsement as a Maine PBIS Tier 1 Trainer and Coach. The Maine PBIS Tier 1 Trainer and Coach Micro-credential was created through a partnership between the University of Maine System (UMS) and the Maine Department of Education (DOE) to help more people become qualified to serve as PBIS trainers and coaches.
Learners complete three levels of activities and coursework to broaden their understanding of PBIS and develop competencies to effectively coach and train school leadership teams in Tier 1 PBIS implementation.
Level 1: Foundational Knowledge
Level 2: Training and Practice
Level 3: Application and Feedback
Each level requires a grade of B or higher in a sequenced graduate-level online course in Special Education from the University of Maine (UMaine) for a total of 9 credits; similar coursework from other institutions will be considered. Upon completion of the micro-credential pathway, learners have also earned an Online Graduate Certificate in Positive Behavior Intervention and Support.

To ensure a personalized experience, the program only accepts 10 participants each year.
