Positive Behavior Intervention Support (PBIS)
PBIS is a vital component of our school wide approach to nurturing the whole child. Through this proactive approach, students learn appropriate behaviors to help them succeed in the classroom through explicit teaching and positive reinforcement. Positive reinforcement gives students the attention they need while also reinforcing the appropriate behaviors for different situations.
What is PBIS?
Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is a process for creating school environments that are more predictable and effective for achieving academic and social goals.
How does it work?
A key strategy of the PBIS process is prevention. The majority of students follow the school’s expectations, but are never acknowledged for their positive behavior. Through instruction, comprehension, and regular practice, all teachers and staff members will use a consistent set of behavioral rules. We will view it as an opportunity for re-teaching, not just punishing.
What about parents?
Parents are an important part of PBIS implementation. We encourage parents to use the same expectations that we teach at school. This common language creates consistency and a unified support for expected student behavior. Children thrive when they have consistent, predictable expectations and consequences.
