What is Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS)?PBIS is a research-based, school-wide
approach to improve school climate and create safer and more effective schools. PBIS is a Process. This process focuses on improving a
school’s ability to teach behavioral expectations and support positive behavior
for all students.
Zion’s District-wide expectations are:
- Be Respectful
- Be responsible
- Be Safe
- Be Kind
PBIS provides systems for schools to design,
implement, and evaluate effective school-wide, classroom, non-classroom, and
student-specific discipline plans. PBIS is a team-based process for data review, data-driven problem
solving and interventions, ongoing planning, and monitoring of interventions. PBIS implementation includes school-wide procedures and processes
intended for: ALL Students, ALL Staff, and ALL Settings. This includes
individual classrooms and teachers and non-classroom settings and related
staff.
As a Response to Intervention Model (RTI), PBIS applies a
three tiered system of support, and a problem solving process to enhance the
capacity of schools to effectively educate all students. |
