(Positive Behavior, Intervention, and Support)

Algonkian’s PBIS framework is based on The 4 R’s

Respect, Responsibility, Relationships, and Ready

The PBIS framework is an opportunity to help students focus on good behavior and strive to succeed. Classrooms will have the opportunity to be recognized for following the 4 R’s, and individual students have an opportunity as well. When a staff member catches a student doing an exceptional job with one or more of the 4 R’s he/she receives a “Golden Ticket”. His or her name will be put into a weekly drawing to receive special recognition!

How does PBIS benefit our school?

· A proactive and consistent approach to school-wide discipline which will assist in improved student achievement.

· Staff the opportunity to be involved in the decision making process. (Shared leadership approach)

· Teaches and reinforces appropriate behaviors.

· Provides data to assess needs and make informed decisions.

· Provides increased feedback and support to staff.

· Creates consistent language and expectations across all school areas

Ultimately, PBIS implementation provides a decrease in addressing challenging behaviors which thereby increases overall instructional time.

Q &A

Why is it so important to focus on teaching positive social behaviors?

They already know what they are supposed to do. Why can’t I just expect good behavior?"

Answer: Focusing on being proactive and positive works best!

In the past, school-wide discipline has focused mainly on reacting to specific student misbehavior. Research has shown that modeling, and reinforcing positive social behavior are important steps of a student's educational experience. Proactively teaching behavioral expectations and rewarding students for following them is a much more effective approach than waiting for misbehavior to occur before responding. The purpose of school-wide PBIS is to establish a climate in which appropriate behavior is the norm.

Don’t forget that the key to PBIS is positives!

More attention when children are doing what you want them to do!
