4. FACULTY COMMITMENT

5. Remember PBIS involves all of your faculty. Collectively, you:
decide what your focus will be
decide how you will monitor
decide what your goals are
decide what you’ll do to get there
evaluate your progress
decide whether to keep going or change
Those involved must share :
a common dissatisfaction with the processes and outcomes of the current system
a vision of what they would like to see replace it
Problems occur when the system lacks the knowledge of how to initiate change or when there is disagreement about how change should take place

6. How will you engage your staff in the implementation of PBIS?
