Positive Behaviour Supports and Interventions (PBIS)
PBIS is an evidence-based framework for impacting student outcomes every day. It is a way to support everyone to create the kinds of schools where all staff and students feel safe and are successful. PBIS is not a package or program but is a commitment to responding to student behaviour responsively, through predicting, preventing, teaching, and responding to student need. When the key features of the PBIS framework are implemented:
- students experience and achieve improved social and academic outcomes
- schools experience reduced exclusionary and punitive discipline practices
- school staff feel more effective
We are focusing our efforts around 3 common expectations:
- Be Safe
- Be Responsible
- Be Respectful
