4. 5 Step Process Implementing the Positive Behavior system (PBS) in your school…..What can we expect?? Learn how to focus your time and energy rewarding positive behavior rather than allowing negative behavior within your classroom or school. See results with a simple five step process. 1) Defining a set of clear rules and expectations; 2) Teaching the expected behaviors to students; 3) Providing increased levels of praise and rewards for appropriate social behaviors; 4) Monitoring students behavior to provide consistent enforcement of the rules; 5) Utilizing frequent summary data about student behavior to evaluate progress and further develop intervention plans.
