PBIS - Positive Behavior Interventions and Support

C.B. Eller Elementary uses the Positive Behavior Intervention Strategy (PBIS), which is a statewide initiative. The program is highlighted below.

 

What is PBIS?

Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports. PBIS is a system that helps our students achieve academic and social goals. PBIS defines the rules and behaviors we expect across the school. This system helps prevent problem behaviors and reward desired behaviors.

 

Our Expectations

L - Learn Daily

E - Exceed Expectations

A - Act Responsibly

D - Demonstrate Respect

 

We teach these expectations to all students across all settings. Our matrix shows what is expected. We practice expected behaviors with students and help them learn social skills.

 

How does it work?

  1. Teach expected behaviors. We teach kids how to behave. We practice scenarios and model problem-solving strategies.
  2. Reinforce and reward behaviors. We notice and reward appropriate behavior with praise, points, and tickets. Students use points to earn weekly classroom rewards, monthly school store points, and quarterly rewards.
  3. Respond to problem behaviors. We use the same system to deal with problem behaviors. Techniques include prompting, redirecting, reteaching, and conferencing. We assign minor points for ongoing problem behaviors and notify parents. Minor behaviors are managed by teachers, and major behaviors are managed by administrators in the office.
  4. Provide more support when needed. We closely monitor data on behaviors. When kids need more support our PBIS team works with families and students to figure out what will help.

How can families help with PBIS?

  • Partner with your child's teacher
  • Notice and praise your child's good behaviors
  • Stay in touch by phone or email
  • Get connected with Remind

Examples of Minors by Teachers

Examples of minors by teachers are; disrespect, inappropriate language, minor disruption, property misuse, horseplay, arguing, dishonesty, and other behaviors may be included.

 

Examples of Majors by Administrators

Examples of majors by administrators are; chronic minors, profanity, truancy, bullying, harassment, threats, aggressive behavior, theft, vandalism, and insubordination.

We will work together to help ALL children succeed. For more information about PBIS, please call the school at 336-903-6100.
