Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS)

Six staff members were trained in July 2006 by the originator of the program, Dr. George Sugai and other members of the state Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) Team.  PBIS is geared towards focusing on the positive to eliminate the negative.  Respect is the driving theme and will be woven into the very fabric that makes up our school.  Our entire staff will experience training during teacher pre-service week.  All behavioral infractions will be logged on the computer and we will be able to gain a far more useful perspective as to when, where, why, and by whom these infractions take place.  This will allow us to focus efforts on supporting and remediating these situations and keeping them out of the realms of instruction and learning.
