We use PBIS, don’t we? • Many believe PBIS means being positive or using praise. • Tangible rewards can negatively affect intrinsic motivation. • PBIS was designed for students with disabilities, but our kids are too low to incorporate this program. • Why should I have to teach kids to be good?
We use PBIS, don’t we? • Why can I not just expect good behavior? • They know better and/or know what they are doing. • I recognize good behavior all the time.
Teaching behavioral expectations and rewarding students for following them is a much more positive approach than waiting for misbehavior to occur before responding. The purpose of school-wide PBIS is to establish a climate in which appropriate behavior is the norm. pbis.org@2013
