PBIS 

CCSD’s district framework includes establishing MTSS for academics, behavior, and social emotional wellness. Each school should incorporate Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) into their MTSS framework to provide universal expectations and a continuum of student supports. 

1. Tier One/Universal (School-wide): High quality academic and behavioral instruction and equitable systems designed to meet the needs of all students across all settings, including differentiated instruction for all students and inclusive practices for students with disabilities. 

2. Tier Two/Secondary (Strategic): Additional targeted academic and/or behavioral interventions and supports for groups of students who are not making adequate progress with Tier One/Universal supports alone. 

3. Tier Three/Tertiary (Intensive): Intensive academic and/or behavioral interventions and supports for individual students based on response to interventions/supports at Tier 1 and Tier 2 levels. 

Tiered instruction, intervention, and supports should take place school-wide, in classrooms, in small groups, and with individual students and families with collective ownership and continuous communication and collaboration. Strategic planning occurs at each individual school based on the needs of their students and should result in a positive school climate with a restorative philosophy 

GUIDE TO LAUNCHING PBIS:  Utilize this guide to ensure your team is ready to kickoff PBIS at the beginning of the year.

Tier 1 PBIS practices are for ALL students. Setting positive expectations, aligned across all aspects of school, help students to learn routines, exhibit positive academic and behavioral practices, allow for staff to step in before a crisis arises, and help students thrive.

Evaluating yourself about your PBIS practices is a helpful way to see what is successful, what might need to be adjusted and where you might need support - so you can support your students! Super 6 includes classroom management, but comes directly from PBIS. Check out these evaluation tools for each of the six domains as you consider your classroom, your responses and opportunities you provide:

Physical Environment 

Classroom Teaching Matrix

Active Supervision 

Encouraging Appropriate Behavior 

Continuum of Responses to Inappropriate Behavior 

Opportunities to Respond and Academic Engagement 

Have you attended a Trauma Informed Educators training? You can request this training through your School Climate Coach - in addition to providing relevant, supportive techniques and strategies for working with students (and staff) who have experienced trauma, the Dee Norton training staff include information about being cognizant of using food as rewards for students.
