  3. What is PBIS? • Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports • We refer to it as (Positive Behaviors In School) • “Caught Being Good” • www.pbis.org for more information

  4. Why a Behavior Program? • Research supports the idea of rewarding positive behaviors rather than punishing negative behaviors (Cregor article Education Digest 2008) • Research showed that the old way of doing things wasn’t working. • Our office discipline referrals were at ZENITH numbers. • We wanted to do what was best for our students. • We needed immediate Intervention!!!

  5. How does it work? • Students are rewarded or “Caught Being Good” by being given “Tiger Cash” for good behavior • Cash can be exchanged for items on the “ROAR Menu”

  6. Expected Tiger Behaviors • See the ROAR location posters PPT

  7. PBIS is all about… • Approaching discipline in a positive, proactive way • Paying more attention to the positive behaviors and less to the negative • Making the school behavior expectations visible and well-known throughout the school

  8. Key Components • Expectations for student behavior are clearly defined. • Appropriate student behavior is taught and modeled. • Positive behaviors are publicly acknowledged and rewarded. • Discipline is implemented consistently. • Student behavior is monitored and staff receive regular feedback
