About NH CEBIS

The New Hampshire Center for Effective Behavioral Interventions and Supports (NH CEBIS) is a professional development, consulting and resource center for educators and families. We focus specifically on developing effective interpersonal and organizational systems and practices and using data effectively within schools and preschools. NH CEBIS services are offered within the framework of the following beliefs:

• The effectiveness of schools and preschools is integrally tied to the systems and practices they employ
• Sound decision-making requires effective use of data
• Systems within schools can either facilitate or hinder effective communication, sharing of knowledge and mutual learning
• Personal, professional and organizational practices exert enormous influence on school culture, personal fulfillment and the desire to learn
• Effective and sustained change requires commitment, guided practice, periodic assessment and sound decision-making processes

Systems, Practices and Data

Every approach in our programs considers three inter-related aspects that are essential for the health of an organization's progress. These include Systems (to effectively support the people and processes within an organization), Practices (to support effective relationships between people) and Data (to support effective decision-making.)
