“To be good is noble, but to teach others how to be

good is nobler and less trouble.”

~Mark Twain

What is PBIS?

PBIS stands for: Positive Behavior Interventions & Supports

PBIS is NOT a curriculum - it is a framework to identify needs, develop strategies, and evaluate practice toward success

PBIS IS a process for teaching children appropriate behavior and providing the supports necessary to sustain that behavior.

What Is PBIS?

PBIS is used school wide

Organized system of disciplinary actions

Clear school wide expectations with incentives and consequences

Actual teaching of Positive Behavior Expectations

Behavioral recognition system for kids doing the right thing

What’s So Good About it??

Data Driven and Team Based

Consistent with research-based principles of behavior

1,000s of schools across the US have seen continued success with an increase in positive behaviors and decrease in office referrals.

Prevents the development or worsening of problem behavior

Encourages the teaching and reinforcement of positive social expectations and behavior across all school settings.

Research says we have to:TeachModelPracticeReward…if we want to see changes in behavior

If we continue to do what we have always done…

we’ll get the SAME RESULT!

What’s So Good About it??

Developing positive and effective student behaviors requires collaborative efforts from students, teachers, support staff, administration and parents/families.

At Lincoln Heights, we believe some of the most important expectations in making a successful student learner are:P.A.W.S.

P: Put Safety FirstA: Act ResponsiblyW: Work for SuccessS: Show Respect and Kindness
