Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports is a framework that guides districts and schools in developing policies and practices that proactively define, teach, and support appropriate behavior. PBIS suggests a shift in thinking about behavior and discipline. Rather than telling students what NOT to do,
emphasis is placed on teaching students what TO do. PBIS creates consistent, predictable learning environments that increase positive behavior and academic outcomes for each student. Over the course of this series, PBIS leadership teams will:
· Develop an understanding of the rationale for implementing PBIS at a district and building/program level.
· Learn about the core components of a PBIS framework.
· Develop an action plan for implementation at the district/building/program levels.
Participants must attend ALL (3) sessions to receive the contact hours.
