WHAT IS PBIS?
PBIS stands for Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports. It's a way for schools to create a positive environment where everyone can learn and grow. Think of it like a roadmap for good behavior and success in school.
WHY DO WE USE PBIS?
1. Better Learning Environment
When everyone knows what's expected and feels supported, it's easier to focus on learning.
2. Fewer Discipline Problems
By teaching and rewarding good behavior, there are usually fewer disruptions and less need for discipline.
3. Happier Students and Teachers
PBIS helps create a more positive school atmosphere, which can make everyone feel better about being at school.
4. Fair Treatment
PBIS encourages treating all students fairly and considering their individual needs.
5. Life Skills
The behaviors taught in PBIS are useful beyond school - they're skills for life!
