PBIS

• What is it ?
• PBIS is an approach to understanding the who
  and the why of a challenging behavior.
• It views the system, setting, and/or the skill
  deficiency as the problem, not the individual.
• It helps students identify and replace behavior
  problems.
• It is not a quick fix method, it has a goal
  with results that last.
• It looks at expectations for the future.

PBIS- Why use it?

• It is not your traditional approach to behavior
  management, where administration and teachers
  have all control.
• This approach helps students regulate theor own
  behavior and gives them functional control of
  their own well being.
