Season 5, Episode 84: International PBIS--Germany

September 04, 2025 • Dr. Lisa Powers and Ms. Jamie Grieshaber

Ever wonder what PBIS looks like outside of the United States? Well, it's alive and progressing! Listen in on this fascinating conversation with Dr. Anna-Maria Hintz and Dr. Michael Paal of the University of Oldenberg. Find out about similarities to and differences between the U.S. and German education models as well as challenges faced as schools implement these new systems. Anna-Maria and Michael will open your eyes to the growing importance of PBIS in Europe, specifically Germany. While they have learned much from the PBIS movement in the U.S., we can learn so much from their educational experiences.
