Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports
We are so excited to continue our Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) journey here at Evergreen. We've revamped our PBIS system to make it better suit our students in all settings. Students that are caught being Safe, Respectful, and Responsible receive individual acknowledgements to fill their (paper) debit cards, and classes are earning stickers to achieve their class goal. To hear some of our students explaining our Tier 1 PBIS system, check out the linked video below. Then, be sure to look at the slides above to see our progress toward class goals and the golden points needed to earn the next school-wide celebration.
Tier 1 PBIS Overview Explained by Students
What is PBIS (Positive Behavior Intervention Supports)? Well, PBIS is about ensuring that all students have access to the most effective and accurately implemented instructional and behavioral practices and interventions possible. PBIS is a decision making framework that guides selection, integration, and implementation of the best evidence-based academic and behavioral practices for improving important academic and behavior outcomes for all students.
Schools that establish PBIS, such as Evergreen, are schools that have teaching and learning environments that are:
-
More engaging, responsive, preventive, and productive
-
Address classroom management and disciplinary issues
-
Improve supports for students whose behaviors require more specialized assistance and
-
Most importantly, maximize academic engagement and achievement for all students
The PBIS Program at Evergreen Elementary strives to:
-
Develop a continuum of scientifically based behavior and academic interventions and supports
-
Use data to make decisions and solve problems
-
Arrange the environment to prevent the development and occurrence of problem behavior
-
Teach and encourage pro-social skills and behaviors
-
Implement an integrated system including effective academic instruction in a positive and safe school environment to maximize success for all students
