Positive Behavior Intervention and Support (PBIS)

    (PBIS) is a research and evidenced-based
    practice.
  • It creates a common vision of behavioral
    expectations through consistent language and
    practices.
  • PBIS is a framework of tiered approaches to
    address ALL the needs of our students.

22
Rules You Need to Know
  • 1. Behavior is learned and serves a specific
    purpose.
  • 2. Behavior is related to the context within
    which it occurs.
  • a.    This is why parents and teachers dont see
    the same behaviors
  • 3. Children comply with the rules 80 of the
    time. Guess how often they are complimented for
    appropriate behavior?
  • a. Less than 2 percent
  • b. We can increase appropriate behavior by 80
    just by recognizing and rewarding appropriate
    behavior.
