  2. Mission • PBIS is taking what we all do and adds uniformity and consistency to the way we do it. Every teacher teaches and expects positive behavior from our students. PBIS looks to make how we do that consistent across the board so students don't get mixed messages. • How we view behavior also changes: • Give more of your attention to the positive behavior. • Acknowledge the positive behavior. • Model the behavior you want to see. • Approach the negative behavior with a positive direction. • Correct the behavior you don't want to see.

  6. Spring: In March Caren Lederer was hired to help guide us through the process. We established 6 full school days dedicated to PBIS Meetings. This was possible due to time allotted to use from the SIPS plan. We have made leaps and bounds since.. A Brief History Fall: • The PBIS process began. • We encountered a lot of difficulties. • Our direction was unclear. • The PBIS facilitator was spread among 8 schools in our district. Winter: • A consistent facilitator/leader was needed. • Short after school meetings seemed to rush the process.
