PBIS Information

What is PBIS?

PBIS stands for Positive Behavior Intervention Support, and is a school-wide behavior system which strategically uses a proactive approach to support students with appropriate behavior by:

- Defining appropriate behavior
- Teaching the expected behaviors
- Supporting positive behavior

By setting and teaching a standard set of expectations, students are able to grow in positive behavior, develop social competence, and become citizens who are able to speak and act in an appropriate manner. School-wide PBIS focuses on encouraging positive behavior throughout the school, including the classroom, cafeteria, hallways, field, etc. Expectations are in place to guide students with their behavior and hold them accountable.

PBIS Elements

In the PBIS system, there are three integrated elements that guide our method: data, systems, and practices.

1. Data to support decision making. Keeping track of behavior data enables staff to develop action plans to respond to the behavior climate at the school.

2. Practice to support student behavior. Behavior expectations are clearly defined, taught, and supported so that students are able to practically adhere to the expectations.

3. Systems to support staff behavior. Staff are trained to prevent student behavior problems and deal with disruptive behavior in a proactive and positive way.

CDS MS PBIS Mission Statement:

Mission Statement: The purpose of the CDS MS PBIS Team is to promote and teach positive behavior expectations to the entire CDS learning community. The goal of proactively teaching these expectations is to help students grow academically, emotionally, socially, and become engaged global citizens.

What does PBIS look like at CDS?

We want CDS MS to be a place where students understand and are able to demonstrate the expected behaviors in order to promote a positive learning environment for students to grow academically, socially, emotionally, and enjoy. At CDS MS, we have four behavior expectations for the community. As Cheongna Dalton Phoenixes, we want our community to R.I.S.E. :

Respectful

Integrity

Safe

Engaged

As a community, we discuss what each expectation is and what it practically looks like for each person. We practice and complete lessons that are focused on instilling these behavior qualities into our community. We also have isolated what each expectation looks like for certain areas in the school, through our behavior expectation matrix.
