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.
