PBIS- Watson Elementary

Students receiving Tier 2 supports get an added layer of systems, data, and practices targeting their specific needs. The support provided at Tier 2 is more focused than at Tier 1 and less intensive than at Tier 3.

At Tier 3, students receive more intensive, individualized support to improve their outcomes. Tier 3 supports are available to any student with intensive need, whether they receive special education services or not.

Students who are Tier 2 or Tier 3 will receive additional support.

Some supports include:

Reteaching and Modeling Appropriate Behaviors
Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP)
Check In/ Check Out

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.

Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP)

Teacher and Student Examples:

What is Check In/ Check Out?

This is a mentor/coaching program which is either for an individual student or a small group of students with the following components to address behavioral needs to increase academic engagement and achievement.

The mentor will check-in with the student in the morning to set goals for improvement. The mentor will check on the student throughout the day to celebrate the student's successes.
Check-In/ Check-Out helps students feel comfortable dialoguing with adults to celebrate daily/small accomplishments.
Support students as they share their personal insight on daily situations while being listened to by a respected adult.

Successful Check In/ Check Out doesn’t focus on the student’s struggles in behavior. Instead, it focuses on the positive behavioral goals met and the efforts made by the student to attain those goals. The overall goal is to get the student back to Tier 1 on the pyramid.
