Over the 2025–26 season of Expert Instruction, we explored how data help schools make better decisions for students. In this year-end reflection episode, Megan Cave and Danielle Triplett look back on the conversations, lessons, and stories that shaped the season. Together, they revisit favorite moments from guests across the PBIS community and reflect on what they learned about prevention, relationships, systems, and data-based decision making.
Alert: Apps are mostly back to normal. We are still experiencing a downtime with DataLink and Person Import in SWIS. We expect to have those issues resolved around 2 PM PDT. Again, we apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.
