Why use PBS- Positive Behavior Systems

We are introducing to you a system to reward students who exhibit good behavior, who come to school, who make good grades,

and who make GOOD choices

because these are the behaviors we want in ALL students.

5 Step Process Implementing the Positive Behavior system (PBS) in your

school…..What can we expect?? Learn how to focus your time and energy rewarding positive behavior rather than allowing negative behavior within your classroom or school. See results with a simple five step process.

1) Defining a set of clear rules and expectations;2) Teaching the expected behaviors to students; 3) Providing increased levels of praise and rewards for

appropriate social behaviors;4) Monitoring students behavior to provide consistent

enforcement of the rules;5) Utilizing frequent summary data about student behavior to

evaluate progress and further develop intervention plans.
