PASS: Positive Approach to Student Success

PASS serves students with serious emotional disturbances in the general education setting using individualized programming that incorporates best practices. PASS programming combines targeted and intensive social skills instruction with behavior monitoring and coaching support for the student and the teacher. The program aims to assist the student in the development of self-management skills and relies on data to drive decisions.

PASS Basic Training is appropriate for individuals who will be facilitating PASS programs on a campus (e.g., PASS teacher, PASS paraprofessional) and for administrators and supervisors desiring a comprehensive knowledge of PASS procedures.

Training on PASS Supervision for those supervising PASS programs on their campus or district is also available.

Schools that have implemented PASS report that their ED/BD students are experiencing academic and behavioral success in mainstream settings. They are also making significant reductions in the number of students placed in more restrictive environments.
