What is School-wide Positive Behavior Support? • The application of evidence-based strategies and systems to assist schools • to increase academic performance • increase safety • decrease problem behavior • and establish positive school cultures
PBIS Big Ideas • Positive Behavior Support is a process for teaching children appropriate behavior and providing the supports necessary to sustain that behavior. • PBIS is not a curriculum - it is a framework for systems to identify needs, develop strategies, and evaluate practice toward success
Why a School-wide Approach? It reduces challenging student behavior through a proactive, positive, and consistent manner across all school settings and Improves academic achievement and social competence

Consistent Consequences • Responding to negative behavior • Immediate and consistent • Try to keep with natural consequences • Use the least amount necessary to get desired behavior • Pre-plan and teach • Correction and re-teaching • Use only with reinforcement for replacement behavior • Should defeat function of problem behavior
Corrective Consequences: Maintaining Desired/Expected Student Behavior • Redirection • Planned ignoring • Restitution • Re-teaching • Time-out • Behavior Contracts • Crisis Planning • Proximity & Movement • Modeling • Eye Contact • Cueing (verbal & nonverbal)
