PBIS Implementation Parent Development Workshop May 23-24 Brainerd School

WHat is PBIS? 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. PBIS IS NOT a packaged curriculum, scripted intervention, or manualized strategy.

PBIS Tier 1 80-90% of student population:

PBIS Tier 2 5-15% of student population:

PBIS Tier 3 1-5% of student population:

Why PBIS? The purpose of schoolwide PBIS is to establish a climate in which appropriate behavior is the norm. Teaching behavioral expectations and rewarding students for following them is a much more positive approach than waiting for misbehavior to occur before responding.

Brainerd PBIS (Tier 2) Decisions to implement Tier 2 interventions are usually grounded in records of student behavior compiled by classroom teachers or other professionals.

Brainerd PBIS (Tier 2) Practices Used in Tier 2 Targeted Group Intervention provided in counseling groups (ie: Social Skills groups). Increased instruction and practice with self-regulation and social skills. Increased opportunity for positive reinforcement and adult supervision. Classes devoted to smaller class size for group targeted instruction.

Brainerd PBIS Tier 2 Sample Tools

Brainerd PBIS (Tier 3) Intervention and Referral Services (I&RS) Tertiary (tier 3) prevention was originally designed to focus on the needs of individuals who exhibited patterns of intense problem behavior that may disrupt quality of life across multiple domains (school, home, community). Research has demonstrated the effectiveness of PBIS in addressing the challenges of behaviors that are dangerous, highly disruptive, and/or impede learning and result in social or educational exclusion.
