PBIS
What is the Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports (PBIS) System?
PBIS is a set of strategies and systems that enables our school to:
- Create a culture of positive behaviors.
- Reduce behavior disruptions.
- Create appropriate environments to educate all students.
- Maximize academic achievement.
This approach fosters successful social behavior and encourages school staff, students, families, and community members to work together to create a culture with consistent expectations.
PBIS invests in prevention. Some of the strategies include:
- Proactive Intervention-identifying the behaviors expected in all settings.
- Active Teaching—teachers, students, families and community members work together to teach and model appropriate behavior.
- Ongoing recognition of appropriate behavior. (Individual students and entire classes work to earn wolf tickets which are exchanged for tangible and intangible rewards)
- Clear, consistent consequences for inappropriate student behavior.
- Additional support for students with more significant needs.
- Collecting and using data to make decisions.
PBIS News & Information
L.I. Wilder Elementary School is excited about our Positive Behavioral Intervention and Support (PBIS) Program, which is also known as "The Wilder Way." PBIS is a proactive approach to establishing the support needed for all students in school to achieve social, emotional, and academic success. Key focus areas of the Wisconsin PBIS Network include prevention, positive behavior supports, using data to better determine the needs of students, team meetings to support students with complex emotional and behavioral needs, and community-based supports for families, youth and schools.
We are looking for help from local community and surrounding area businesses to help support students and our program at L.I. Wilder Elementary School. Acknowledging both students and staff for their dedication to the program will help ensure the success of PBIS in our school and help support positive behaviors in the community. Any form of support you may be able to provide would be greatly appreciated. Examples of things that may be helpful would include gift certificates, product sets/baskets, or financial donations to help purchase materials needed for the program.
If you're interested in helping out, of if you know of a business that might be willing to make a donation, please contact the following LI Wilder Staff Members:
Any donation will be publicly acknowledged, as we are deeply grateful for your support.
