Positive Behavior Intervention Support
PBIS – Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports
This systems-based approach to discipline emphasizes prevention, instruction on social skills, and data-based decision-making to both reduce problem behavior and improve academic performance. Teachers and school staff focus on the critical link between instruction and desired behavior outcomes that are developed and build upon the strengths of our school.
Our PBIS team has developed a matrix of expected behaviors that all students learn and follow. The matrix is posted in each classroom and in the hallways. The expected behaviors on this matrix never change and they are taught and supported by all school staff. This matrix creates a shared curriculum for our school community and defines the expected behaviors for specific learning environments at the K Center.
