Positive Behavioral Intervention and Supports (PBIS) is a process to create a safe, positive, and productive learning environment for all children.
At our school, we use Safe, Respectful, and Responsible to define our behavior expectations.
Positive feedback occurs in classrooms and throughout the building to let students know that we see how amazing they are and how hard they are working every day to model these behavior expectations!
In our school, our community will see posters (drawn by talented Mt. Carbon students) that articulate the behavior expectations for each area of our school.
At. Mt. Carbon, student behavior is taught and acknowledged through positive feedback.
Feedback is...
Specific, Positive, Relevant, Immediate, Sincere, Frequent
ESTABLISH 3-5 expectations How do you want your student to behave?
DEFINE it: Positively stated, observable, measurable, relevant
POST it: Visual, accessible
TEACH it: model it, (examples and non-examples), prompt it, re-teach it
REINFORCE it: provide feedback regularly
How can you support your student at home?
-A core principle of PBIS that you can use at home is the 5:1 rule. For every corrective statement made, provide five positive statements or praises of your child's behavior.
-Use your schools acronym and expectations to reinforce student behavior at home
-Talk to your student about what these behavior expectations look like at home and in the community
