Positive Behavioral Interventions Supports (PBIS)

Positive Behavior and Intervention Support (PBIS) is a framework of effective organizational systems, interventions, and practices that have been shown to reduce problem behavior and promote positive socially appropriate behavior. 

The goal is to maximize academic engagement and establish a positive school climate by preventing the development and establishment of problem behaviors. 

The Critical Components are:

• The critical components are: 

• Clear Expectations: Rules/expectations are clearly defined, examples are identified and documented on the rules matrix. 

• Explicitly Taught: Each area in the rules matrix is accompanied by a lesson. A lesson schedule is developed to ensure that we teach and reteach behavior skill to all students throughout the year. 

• Reinforcement System: A reward and recognition system is in place to intentionally encourage positive and appropriate behaviors. 

• Consequences: A correction menu is used to guide staff on how to respond to inappropriate behaviors. 

• Data Collection: Data is used to evaluate both the implementation of PBIS and student behavior. Decisions are based on our analysis of the data. 

We need YOU! Looking for staff members willing to lead the team/be on our school-wide PBIS team who will meet roughly once per month to start developing and communicating clearly our behavior expectations and plans for OCHS.
