Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS)

This year, HOB will be starting implementation of Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) building wide UPK-4. 

 

What is PBIS?

We base our school-wide discipline policy on the PBIS philosophy. HOB supports our students by providing proactive strategies that defines and teaches appropriate student behaviors in a positive school environment. We provide a positive environment in all areas including the classroom and non-classroom settings (such as hallways, restrooms).

PBIS incorporates:

  • Common purpose and approach to discipline
  • Clear set of positive expectations and behaviors
  • Procedures for teaching expected behavior
  • Continuum of procedures for encouraging expected behavior
  • Continuum of procedures for discouraging inappropriate behavior
  • Procedures for on-going monitoring and evaluation
  • Active Supervision

 

We will teach PBIS by:

  • Showing students the behavior we expect.
    • Example: Appropriate bus riding behavior:  Teachers model getting on the bus, off the bus, sitting with hands and feet out of the aisle and to themselves, no yelling.
  • Having students show their understanding of the behavior by repeating it:
    • Example: Have students repeat steps shown by doing what they saw being modeled.
  • Reinforcing positive behavior:
    •   Give positive feedback and reward appropriate behavior.

 

Why PBIS?

  • As a school, we create consistency in expectations and culture
  • PBIS Helps kids learn acceptable behavior
  • PBIS Helps keep kids and schools safe
