PBIS Corner
Our school is participating in an important district initiative. It is called Positive Behavior Interventions and Support (PBIS).
What is Positive Behavior Interventions and Support?
PBIS is a process for creating safer and more effective schools. It is a systems approach to educate all children by developing research-based, school-wide, and classroom behavior support systems. The process focuses on improving a school’s ability to teach and support positive behavior for all students. PBIS is not a program or a curriculum. It is a team-based process for problem solving, planning, and evaluation that supports a safe and productive learning environment.
What is PBIS at our school?
We have adopted a unified set of classroom expectations that define behavior in our school. You will see these expectations, “The Warrior Way” posted throughout the school, and your child will be learning them during his or her first days at school.
Expectation #1: Be Responsible
Expectation #2: Be Respectful
Expectation #3: Be a Team
As part of our PBIS process, our staff members use evidence-based practices to increase student learning and decrease classroom disruptions. To keep students on the rules in a positive manner, we do the following when teaching academics and behavior:
Constantly teach and refer to our school-wide expectations.
Provide students with more praise than correction.
Talk to students with respect using a positive voice tone.
Actively engage everyone in the class during instruction.
Use pre-correcting, prompting, and redirecting as we teach.
Look for the positive first and provide positive, immediate, frequent, and explicit feedback.
