Interactive PBISObjectives for today:
We will all gain insight into PBIS/SWPBS
We will all leave here excited and prepared to implement (All Resources available electronically)
All of us will participate in this PBIS dialogue
2
What is PBIS?Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports
We refer to it as (Positive Behaviors In School)“Caught Being Good”
www.pbis.org for more information
3
Why a Behavior Program?Research supports the idea of rewarding positive behaviors
rather than punishing negative behaviors (Cregor article Education Digest 2008)
Research showed that the old way of doing things wasn’t working.
Our office discipline referrals were at ZENITH numbers.
We wanted to do what was best for our students.
We needed immediate Intervention!!!
4
How does it work?Students are rewarded or “Caught Being Good” by being
given “Tiger Cash” for good behavior
Cash can be exchanged for items on the “ROAR Menu”

Expected Tiger Behaviors
See the ROAR location posters PPT

PBIS is all about…Approaching discipline in a positive, proactive way
Paying more attention to the positive behaviors and less to the negative
Making the school behavior expectations visible and well-known throughout the school
7
Key ComponentsExpectations for student behavior are
clearly defined. Appropriate student behavior is
taught and modeled. Positive behaviors are publicly
acknowledged and rewarded. Discipline is implemented
consistently. Student behavior is monitored and
staff receive regular feedback8
