All schools in North Carolina will implement Positive Behavior Support as an effective and proactive process for improving social competence and academic achievement for all students
Positive Behavior Support
Purpose Statement
Provide a safe, engaging learning environment for all students and staff at
Charles D. Owen High that enhances students’ Integrity, Attitude, and
Maturity through high and consistent expectations of behavior allowing for the highest academic learning opportunities.
Starting Point….
● Educators cannot “make” students learn or behave.
● Educators can create environments to increase the likelihood students learn and behave.
● Positive behaviors and student expectations need to be taught to students.
The 3 MajorComponents
of PBIS
Teaching appropriate behavior in all settings.
Recognition when behaviors are met.
Interventions when behavior expectations are not met.
School Wide- PBIS is…
● Schoolwide● Problem solving method● Created to fit the needs of our school ● Targeted interventions based on students
SW-PBIS is not...
● Not a specific practice, package or curriculum● Not limited to any particular group of students● Not time intensive
Universal School-Wide Features● Clearly define expected behaviors (Rules)
● All Settings● All Classrooms
● Procedures for teaching & practicing expected behaviors
● Procedures for encouraging expected behaviors● Procedures for discouraging problem behaviors● Procedures for data-based decision making● Family awareness and involvement
Negative Consequences vs Positive Reinforcement
Traditional Discipline:
●Focuses on the student’s problem behavior
●Goal is to stop undesirable behavior through the use of punishment
Positive Behavior Intervention & Support:
●Replaces undesired behavior with a new behavior or skill
●Alters environments, teaches appropriate skills, and rewards appropriate behavior

The best way for our
students to learn…
Is for us to be a Warhorse,
too!
Myth or Fact?
Myth or Fact?
We are always positive and no longer correct student misbehavior.
OK to say “stop” - the challenge is to a) continue to teach appropriate behavior b) assign designated consequencec) put environmental supports in place to prevent the problem from occurring again
Myth or Fact?
“Universals” mean we implement School Wide- PBIS exactly like all other schools.
●Essential features ●Reflect unique challenges●Culturally responsive to reflect Owen community●Intensity of implementation should match the intensity of challenges
Myth or Fact?
When you think they “get it”, it is typically okay to stop teaching social expectations.
●Stages of learningAcquisitionFluency Maintenance and Generalization
●Students are ALWAYS learning
Myth or Fact?
School Wide PBS simply will not work if you don’t use huge, expensive,“rewards.”
Key is sincere, relevant, positive rewards!
