PBIS

Positive​ ​Behavior​ ​Interventions​ ​and​ ​Support (PBIS)

PBIS is an evidence-based framework that helps schools design effective environments and supports that, when implemented with fidelity, increase teaching and learning opportunities for all students. PBIS is a school-wide system of support that utilizes proactive strategies for defining, teaching, and supporting appropriate student behaviors to improve community well being and to create a safe and supportive learning environment. The PBIS framework is interrelated to the Code of Conduct and existing disciplinary systems by not only focusing on how to stop problematic behavior, but by also creating an environment that teaches and nurtures positive behavior.

PBIS​ ​Purpose

1. Promote a positive and caring school environment where students are taught, practice, and receive feedback from school staff regarding the expectations from the school.

2. Intervene with students who experience behavior difficulties by accessing data and reasons for behavior and planning for behavioral change.

3. Provide partnerships with parents, the school, and the community for behavioral change of students experiencing severe behavioral problems.

4. Utilize discipline data and problem-solving to design goals and outcomes.

PBIS​ ​Strategic​ ​Objectives

Each student will:

● Demonstrate an understanding of their school-wide behavior expectations.

● Contribute positively to the school climate.

● Have frequent opportunities to be acknowledged for positive behavior.

● Recognize that he/she is a valued member within the school community.
