POSITIVE BEHAVIOR INTERVENTIONS AND SUPPORTS (PBIS)

Wisconsin PBIS Network What are Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports or PBIS? Proactive school-wide or district-wide discipline systems help to establish a learning culture within which both social and academic success increases. Wisconsin PBIS Network Regional Trainers Kent Smith Milaney Leaverson http://www.wisconsinpbisnetwork.org/ Presenters: Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports is a research based approach to establishing a proactive school-wide or district-wide discipline and reinforcement program that focuses on positive student performance. This program is devoted to developing and enriching a positive school climate that rewards student positive behavior instead of reacting to student negative performance. The Spooner Area School District was directly trained by the Wisconsin PBIS Networks regional trainers Mr. Kent Smith and Mrs. Milaney Leaverson. This training is in conjunction with the global work of Dr. Horner and Dr. Sugai who are global experts in the generation of positive learning environments through the PBIS systematic process.

PBIS National Involvement The national movement to PBIS has added over 21 thousand schools since the early 1990s. The success of this program in our nations schools has lead to all 50 states adopting this as a required program.

SMS Teaches Universal Expectations By teaching consistent expectations for all students, teachers are able to be proactive in defining what is expected and what will be reinforced. Their explicit instruction is directly tied to universal expectations for each designated area of the students school day.

Lesson Plans Focused on Positive Behavior Teachers use consistent lesson plans to explicitly teach students their expectations for each area designated on the Behavior Matrix. This consistency is key in ensuring that all students know what their expectations are. When student behavior becomes a concern these lessons are used to reteach the expectations.

PBIS Clearly Defines Behavior PBIS clearly outlines which behaviors will be retaught by teachers and when administration and parents will become involved.
