The document discusses Positive Behavior Interventions and Support (PBIS), which is a framework for behavioral interventions in schools based on applied behavior analysis. PBIS uses a multi-tiered approach including school-wide, classroom, and individual systems to define, teach, and reward appropriate behaviors. The goals are to enhance academic achievement and social behaviors for all students through team-based leadership, data-driven decisions, professional development, and a positive school culture.

10. 1. Common purpose & approach to discipline
2. Clear set of positive expectations & behaviors
(school wide matrix)
3. Procedures for teaching expected behavior
4. Continuum of procedures for encouraging
expected behavior and for discouraging
inappropriate behavior (PBIS committee)
5. Procedures for on-going monitoring & evaluation
(PBIS committee)
6. Include staff not just students to model positive
climate (KUDOs bars at faculty meetings)
SAY: Not a packaged curriculum or specific intervention program. It takes each school time to investigate current trends and create interventions based on specific needs
SAY: The systems are in place to monitor and adjust as culture changes
SAY: Biggest fear of PBIS is that behaviors will be ignored and no discipline will take place
