Porter Elementary Positive Behavior Intervention Supports (PBIS) PLAN
Porter is utilizing the PBIS framework for behavior intervention. PBIS celebrates the commitment to academic, social-emotional, & behavioral student success. Research is demonstrating that schools make greater academic gains when they simultaneously build a school-wide positive social culture. PBIS organizes adults and students to create a social culture in schools that will encourage positive behavior and interactions while discouraging problem behaviors. This social culture will lead to a safer environment where students achieve academically and build positive relationships with each other and with adults.
Porter utilizes 8 PBIS Effective Practices:
- DEFINE- clear and concise definition of behavior expectations
- TEACH- direct teaching of behavior expectations
- MODEL- Show the students what the expected behavior looks like/sounds like.
- PRACTICE/CELEBRATE- consistent acknowledgment of the expected behaviors
- CORRECT- consistent correction of the problem behaviors
- REMIND- daily reminders & supervision- "the positive nag
- SUPERVISE/FEEDBACK
- RETEACH if necessary
