Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is an approach to teaching and supporting positive behavior and meeting the needs of ALL students. This school-wide approach to discipline focuses on building a safe and positive environment in which all students can learn.
The foundation of PBIS is to “Build Exceptional Students” by following the four building-wide expectations:
* Prepared
* Act responsibly
* Work as a team
* Show respect
In addition to our behavior expectations, PBIS has three other components:
1) A behavior matrix, which explains behavior expectations in each school setting
2) direct teaching of the expectations
3) positive recognition
