Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS)
The main focus of Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is to provide a clear system for all expected behaviors at Prairie Trail School. While many faculty and students may have assumptions of what is expected behavior, we cannot assume that everyone’s beliefs are similar. Through PBIS, we will work to create and maintain a productive, safe environment in which ALL school community members have clear expectations and understandings of their role in the educational process.
Behavioral Expectations are Taught. The behavioral expectations are taught to all students in the building and are taught in real contexts. Teaching appropriate behavior involves much more than simply telling students what behaviors they should avoid. Specific behavioral examples are:
· Be Respectful means treating people the way you would like to be treated.
· Be Responsible means following school rules and doing the things good citizens should do.
· Be Productive means ready to learn by being on time and in the appropriate place in school with the required materials.
· Be Safe means practicing self-control.
