15. How Does PBIS Work?Build a Culture of Competence Define behaviour expectations -all students follow the same set of rules and expectations throughout all settings in and out of the entire school. Display rules and expectations on a matrix and posted in all locations. Teach behaviour expectations in all locations. Recognize and reward students when rules and expectations are followed. Using a minor/major portable referral form. When students do not follow the rules, there are corrective consequences using repairing & rebuilding relationships (Restorative Justice). Use on-going data to based decision making for prevention and intervention.
