Mission
PBIS is taking what we all do and adds uniformity and
consistency to the way we do it. Every teacher teaches
and expects positive behavior from our students. PBIS
looks to make how we do that consistent across the board
so students don't get mixed messages.
How we view behavior also changes:
Give more of your attention to the positive behavior.
 Acknowledge the positive behavior.
 Model the behavior you want to see.

Approach the negative behavior with a positive direction.
 Correct the behavior you don't want to see.


A Brief History
Fall:

The PBIS process began.
Spring:
In March Caren Lederer was hired
to help guide us through the
process.

We encountered a lot of
difficulties.


Our direction was unclear.
The PBIS facilitator was spread
among 8 schools in our district.
We established 6 full school days
dedicated to PBIS Meetings.


Winter:

A consistent facilitator/leader was
needed.

Short after school meetings
seemed to rush the process.

This was possible due to time
allotted to use from the SIPS plan.
We have made leaps and bounds
since..
