Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports

what is pbis?

PBIS stands for Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports.

It is a program designed to teach respect, responsibility, and safety at school. By implementing this program we hope to encourage students to continuously make good behavioral choices. PBIS provides teachers and other school staff with information to help prevent behavior problems and help make school a safe learning environment.  PBIS is a research-based program which can result in:

• Increased time for instruction

• An increase in positive behaviors school-wide

• A decrease in disruptive behaviors

How the program works

Thanks to a grant from Wayne RESA, we are able to implement this program in our school. Posters that highlight behavior expectations for all areas of the school, from the classrooms, office, gym, to the restrooms, will remind students of what is expected from them in each area.

All students and staff are taught the school-wide expectations.

Students will receive frequent reviews of the expectations and be acknowledged when they demonstrate them.

Most of the contact that students have with adults in the building is positive and prevents problem behavior from occurring.

Staff will use data to help identify students who need additional support.

A PBIS school provides a consistent, predictable, and fair use of consequences for all students.
