Dr. Robert Putnam, Senior Vice President for Consulting with the May Institute was also on hand to provide technical assistance to interested school teams. Members of the Vermont BEST Team described the process for schools to begin this work and outlined a learning series designed to prepare schools over the coming months for the intensive School-wide PBS training offered in June at the BEST Summer Institute.
