Positive Behavior Support • a research-based proactive approach for handling classroom and school campus behaviors • proven to increase academic achievement and attendance • a means for providing a more effective learning environment and keeping each student engaged • requires reflection as it is always in development
Why should I do PBS? • Decrease in negative behaviors = increase in academic time • Increase in academic time = increase in academic success
