6. How do we fix this problem? Positive Behavior Support • PBS is a system that allows us as teachers to regain control of our classrooms. It focuses on teaching our children what we expect from them and holding them accountable. Unlike traditional discipline systems it also recognizes and rewards children for doing the right thing. Juvenile Justice Reform Act (1225) requires this program to be implemented in every school in the U.S., and WE will implement it effectively.
