PBIS
Positive Behavior Intervention
and Supports
General’s Salute:
“As Generals, we are Prepared,
Respectful, and Responsible.”
Why did we ask for PBIS?
• We have many superb students that need
to be recognized for positive behavior.
• Creates a uniform system for behavior
management.
• We will be able to see data that shows
improvement that can be shared with the
community.
Why is PBIS necessary?
• Children spend more time with teachers
than family
• Positive role models and actions are not
the dominate force in today’s media
• Much like academic growth, social growth
must be defined, modeled, practiced,
monitored, and acknowledged
Is there proof that PBIS works?

How will Stricker implement PBIS?
We will implement the following
procedures:
• General’s Stars
• Agenda Drawings
• Team Leader Referrals
• Office Referrals
General’s Stars
• Coupons distributed to recognize
consistent and recurring positive behavior.
• Students will be motivated to earn stars
through a rewards based system.
• Rewards will include items from the
school store, drawings for larger items,
tickets for dances, etc.
Agenda Drawings
• All agendas are numbered.
• Students are expected to record homework daily
for each subject in their agenda book.
• If there is no homework assigned students
should write “none”.
• If a student is absent they need to write absent in
their agenda.
• Periodically we will call agenda book numbers
and students will bring their book to the office.
• Students who have used their agenda books
daily will be given a prize.
Team Leader Referral
When to use?
• The teacher is expected to make every effort to
modify behavior in his/her individual classroom
• If a student has been a chronic behavioral issue
and the teacher has exhausted other methods
(discussed the behavior privately w/ the student,
verbally warned, contacted home, assigned
detention, etc) the student may then be referred
to the team leader
• The teacher must show previous modification
efforts prior to the team leader referral
Team Leader Referral Con’t
What Needs to be on the Referral?
Teacher name
Student name
Date and time of infraction
Previous modification efforts made
Description of infraction
Why do we want Team Leader
Referrals?
Example of another school: 830 Students
2/3 of students had been sent to the office a minimum of
one time.
5100 referrals = 1 year
5100 referrals =
76,500 minutes @ 15 minutes =
1,275 hours =
159 days @ 8 hrs/day
This is the amount of time administrators spent dealing
with referrals.
This leaves 11 days…
WOW
Office Referral
• Team Leader will decide when to write for continuous
disruptive behavior.
• The team leader will be responsible for writing the
Office Referral
• The team leader will include all previous behavioral
interventions in the office referral
• The office will then decide necessary further behavioral
interventions
• Major infractions (fighting, drug use, etc) can be written
immediately by the teacher or the team leader and will
supersede the aforementioned process
The Role of the Teachers
• Distribute General’s Stars to promote the
General’s Salute.
• Model positive behaviors as role models
in the school.
• Redirect students towards positive
behaviors by modeling the General’s
Salute.
The Role of the Students
• To learn and practice the behaviors
outlined in the General’s Salute
• To strive for a more positive and enjoyable
learning environment
• To develop appreciation when others in
their learning community practice the
behaviors outlined in the General’s Salute
