Safe & Civil Schools National Conference

Since the first one in 1996, the Safe & Civil Schools National Conference has been a highlight of our yearly work with districts and schools across the country and a valuable professional development opportunity for educators.

The Safe & Civil Schools National Conference offers in-depth training sessions, workshops, and networking as well as an opportunity to enjoy and explore one of our nation's most unique and vibrant places—Portland, Oregon, and the Pacific Northwest.

In our conference sessions, Educators learn how to create and maintain a full continuum of behavior support so that every student is successful, no matter the level of need. The Safe & Civil Schools multi-tiered system of behavior support (MTSS) addresses all students’ needs with a system of overlapping tiers of support, so there are no gaps and no student falls through the cracks.

Attendees learn from our best and most experienced consultants and come away empowered with new strategies for improving school climate, culture, and instruction and practical tools to help all students (even the most challenging ones) succeed.
