P.B.I.S.• Positive• Behavior• Intervention• Support

What will PBIS do?• PBIS organizes adults and students

to create a social-culture in schools that will encourage positive behavior and interactions, while discouraging problem behaviors.

This social-culture will lead to a safer environment where students achieve academically and build POSITIVE RELATIONSHIPS with each other and with adults.

Use of Effective Practices5 components

• Define – Clear and concise definition of behavior expectations.

• Teach – Direct teaching of behavior expectations.• Remind – Daily reminder and supervision – “The

Positive Nag”.• Celebrate – Consistent acknowledgement of the

expected behaviors.• Correct – Consistent corrections of the problem

behaviors.

Use of Data

• Continuous review of information/data – detentions, office referrals, tardies, etc.

• Asking specific questions of the data – what, where, who, why, and how often – to help guide school-wide intervention.

Use of Systems of Support

• Some students will require more support/intervention to be successful in our school culture.

• This additional support will be organized through four stages of support: – Universal Level (school-wide)– Teacher Assisted Teams (TATs)– Secondary Level– Intensive Level

Universal Level• A school-wide re-teaching time is

put into place based on data gathered over a two week period.

• A Cool Tool is then created and distributed to teachers for implementation.

• Pirate Bucs are given to students when you see them doing the current Cool Tool or a previous Cool Tool.

Different Ways to Hand Out Pirate Bucs

• Hallway: Walking to the right, wearing ID, talking quietly and being respectful.

• Cafeteria: Raising hand, Staying in seat, wearing ID and good table manners.

• Classroom: Using inside voice, wearing ID, following directions and being respectful.

• Pirate Bucs are NOT to be passed out for running errands or just because. They must be passed out for meeting a behavior expectation.
