What is PBIS?
-
-
A multi-tiered framework to establish a positive climate and culture through social, emotional, and behavior supports needed to improve academic outcomes for all students.
PBIS is a set of strategies and systems that enables our school to:
- create a culture of positive behaviors
- reduce behavior disruptions
- provide a safe learning environment to educate all students
This approach fosters successful social behavior and encourages school staff, students, families, and community members to collaboratively work together to create and nurture a safe social culture with consistent expectations.

PBIS Strategies
-
-
PBIS invests in prevention. Some of the strategies include:
- Proactive intervention—identifying the behaviors expected in all settings (i.e. classrooms, hallways, playgrounds, restrooms, etc.).
- Active teaching—teachers, students, families, and community members often work collaboratively together to teach, model, and acknowledge appropriate behavior.
- Ongoing recognition of appropriate behavior—recognition through praise, PBIS tickets, Dojo points, Golden Tickets, Wildcat Recognitions, etc.
- Clear, consistent consequences— for inappropriate student behavior.
- Additional support— for students with more significant needs.
- Collecting and using data— to make decisions.
