What is PBIS? Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is an evidence-based framework for improving school climate, social -emotional competence, and academic achievement, and decreasing unsafe behavior in schools (Lee & Gage, 2020)

Multi-Tiered Systems of Support PBIS is the schoolwide systems of support that include proactive strategies for defining, teaching, and supporting appropriate student behaviors to create positive school environments. Attention is focused on creating and sustaining Tier 1 supports (universal), Tier 2 supports (targeted group), and Tier 3 supports (individual) systems of support that improve lifestyle results (personal, health, social, family, work, recreation) for all children and youth.

PBIS is not just expectations and incentives! PBIS is a Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS). The Core Principles of PBIS are: • • • We can effectively teach appropriate behavior to all children Intervene early Use of a multi-tier model of service delivery Use research-based, scientifically validated interventions to the extent available Monitor student progress to inform interventions Use data to make decisions

PBIS PURPOSE • School connectedness is known as one of the strongest factors in reducing anxiety, depression, substance use, suicide, and violence.

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs What we need to be our best self We must restore the connections and relationships before moving on. Much of our community struggled/ is still struggling with these categories.

Building a Safe Classroom Community ● An environment in which students feel empowered and valued ● Students feel connected to one another and to the teacher ● Students feel safe ● Students believe they have something to offer to the community and the community has something to offer to them

Dr. James P. Comer, Pioneer of Successful School Reform “You know the purpose of the school is not just to raise test scores, or to give children academic learning. The purpose of the school is to give children an experience that will help them grow and develop in ways that they can be successful, in school and as successful adults. They have to grow in a way that they can take care of themselves, get an education, take care of a family, be responsible citizens of the society and of their community. Now you don’t get that simply by raising test scores. ” ~Dr. James P. Comer

And of course… “No significant learning occurs without a significant relationship” Dr. James Comer

YOU ARE A BLESSING TO OUR STUDENTS! THANK YOU AND… HAVE A FANTASTICALLY POSITIVE SCHOOL YEAR!
