Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) provide a framework for achieving a positive school culture and classroom learning environment. Implementing evidence-based instructional best practices, preventative strategies and interventions allow our school to support the whole student and address both academic and non-academic needs.
With the goal of improving student behavior and academic outcomes, the PBIS framework allows our school to strategically address and proactively teach behavior expectations as well as provide appropriate tiered intervention support as needed. It also allows us to create an environment where students who meet the behavior expectations are rewarded/celebrated. Improving students' academic and behavior outcomes is the goal. PBIS is essential to ensuring all students have access to the most effective instructional and behavioral practices and high-quality interventions. In addition to fostering positive and productive learning environments, the PBIS framework adds structure and practical strategies to the supportive community caring for our students as they navigate the challenges of academic rigor, peer, and life situations.
PBIS expectations are shared with students and parents. They are also posted throughout the building.
