The Dessa : Universal Screener for Behavior

The Dessa will help us look at every student so we can effectively approach their behavioral needs. “The Great Eight” is what our Guidance curriculum is based on and the terminology comes directly from the Dessa—Optimism, Self-Management, Relationship Skills, Goal directed behavior, Self-Awareness, Social Awareness, Personal Responsibility, and Decision Making.
