3. A collaborative, assessment-based process to developing effective interventions for problem behavior Emphasizes the use of proactive, educative, and reinforcement-based strategies to achieve meaningful and durable behavior and lifestyle outcomes Aim is to build functional, effective environments in which appropriate behavior is more effective than problem behavior The application of evidence-based strategies and systems to assist schools to increase academic performance, increase safety, decrease problem behavior, and establish positive school cultures. What is PBIS?

4. Data will be used to help track progress and identify areas to target for intervention Discipline referral processes & procedures will be consistent throughout the school The school will develop and use school-wide expectations & rules in settings across campus to teach students appropriate behavior A reward system will be used to encourage and model appropriate behavior and effective consequences will be developed and used to discourage inappropriate behavior.
