Woodhome PBIS

What is PBIS? “PBIS” is short for Positive Behavioral Intervention and Supports.  PBIS is a framework or approach for assisting school personnel in adopting and organizing evidence-based behavioral interventions into an integrated continuum that enhances academic and social behavior outcomes for all students.

What does PBIS have to do with Woodhome? Effective classroom management and preventive school discipline are essential for supporting teaching and learning. PBIS goes further by emphasizing that classroom management and preventive school discipline must be integrated and working together with effective academic instruction in a positive and safe school climate to maximize success for all students.

PBIS is not: PBIS is: ...a canned program in a box for purchase. ...a support to address proactive systems changes in the "way schools do business." ...throwing out the baby with the bathwater. ...a way of taking all the great initiatives already implemented in the school and tying them together into a framework that works toward a common language, common practice, and consistent application of positive and negative reinforcement. ...being sickeningly sweet to children and giving them stickers. ...teaching, modeling, practicing, and rewarding appropriate behavior and having clear consequences for targeted behaviors. ...ignoring inappropriate behavior. ...achieving full staff "buy-in" on consistent implementation of office discipline referrals. If it is not okay to cuss in classroom "A", then it will not be okay to cuss in classroom "B". ...something a bunch of people made up for the new pendulum to swing in the educational field. ...rooted in evidence based practices which adults use to respond to the interventions needed to address behavioral and academic competence for each and every student.
