Student Expectations

P.B.I.S. (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) is a process for creating safer and more effective schools. P.B.I.S. is a systems approach to enhancing the capacity of schools to educate all children by developing research-based, school wide, and classroom discipline systems.

The process focuses on improving a school's ability to teach and support positive behavior for all students. Rather than a prescribed program, P.B.I.S. provides systems for schools to design, implement, and evaluate effective school-wide, classroom, non-classroom, and student specific discipline plans.

P.B.I.S. included school-wide procedures and processes intended for:

ALL students, ALL staff and in ALL settings
Non classroom settings within the school environment
Individual student supports for the estimated 3-7% of students who present the most challenging behaviors.

How does P.B.I.S. work?

Define 3-5 school wide behavioral expectations
Define each expectation (how it will look across different settings)
Teach the expectations to all students
Teach the expectations in all settings
Allow students a chance to practice behaviors
