What is PBIS?
Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is tiered framework that is used to promote and support student's academic, behavioral, social, and emotional well being. The goal is to create a positive school climate in which students learn and grow socially and academically. With PBIS, schools teach students about behavior expectations and strategies. The focus of PBIS is prevention, not punishment as the adults in the building proactively address student behavior and encourage students to make positive choices.
PBIS is not a curriculum or a one-day training. PBIS is a process that requires on-going commitment in order to create effective systems for teaching and addressing behavior as well as building social-emotional and academic skills that emphasize the inter-related elements of equity, systems, data, practices, and outcomes.
PBIS follows a three-tiered pyramid to support students:
Students who are Tier 1 receive:
Students who are Tier 2 or Tier 3 may need additional support.
Some supports include:
Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP)
What is reteaching ?
Taking the time to review the expectation and modeling how to act appropriately to decrease the behavior and build confidence in the student(s). This may be done with a whole class or a small group of students.
What is a Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP)?
This is a document developed by the student and staff to address the individual behavioral needs of any student whose behavior interferes with his/her learning or the learning of others. A BIP is designed to stop problem behaviors and teach desired behaviors through rewards and positive reinforcement. The plan gives teachers and staff a clear set of behavioral goals and accommodations for your child. It also offers strategies to help the child meet those goals. The overall goal is to get the student back to Tier 1.
