A PBIS in my School?

PBIS in my School?A presentation for teachers on the importance of intervention programs

IntroductionFor decades the school environment has been structured on a system of if a student is good- it is expected. However, if a student is behaving poorly there are consequences that will follow that behavior. As the times change, students change, thus education changes; and so does the methodology that goes into motivating, driving, and pushing students to do their best. In order to attack the achievement gap, a program developed focusing on interventions- was needed.

New School

The VisionHence, the Positive Behavior Intervention System was developed; PBIS is an effective program that can be applied to any grade level at the classroom or school level. In order for a school to be a successful PBIS school, administrators, teachers, and students must understand the importance behavior and academic success have on educational achievements.

The FoundationWhat is the driving force behind PBIS? Teaching young people behavioral expectations alongside their curricular material.

Each school can pick a few behavioral expectations that they will wish to take under their wing. These expectations can be woven into lessons and remain a major focal point for the entire school system.
