 What is Reinforcement?  Reinforcement Continuum ◦ Diet of Recognition ◦ Reinforcement ◦ Capitalizing on opportunities for reinforcement  Consequence Plan ◦ Reteach- Reinforce ◦ Individual student plan- School PBIS team- District Process “Attend to what you attend to”

Who’s job is it to teach students to behave appropriately? Creating a positive, safe, and effective school climate is everyone’s responsibility If students are not demonstrating appropriate behavior, we teach them PBIS is about the whole school working together to create a positive school climate
