PBIS Information
Hello Buckeye Elementary Families!
As a staff, we have developed a Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports (PBIS) model. PBIS is a systems approach to preventing and responding to classroom and school discipline problems. PBIS is a systems approach to preventing and responding to classroom and school discipline problems. PBIS develops school-wide systems that support staff to teach and promote appropriate behavior for all students. By reducing behavior problems, PBIS creates and maintains safe learning environments where teachers at Buckeye Elementary can teach and students can learn.
The goal is to create a social culture in our school that will encourage positive behaviors and interactions while discouraging problem behaviors. This social culture will lead to a safe environment where students achieve academically and build positive relationships with each other and with adults. The foundation of the approach emphasizes teaching students the behaviors we expect to see, reminding them to use those behaviors, acknowledging them when they do, and correcting them when they do not.
Purpose of PBIS
-
Increase consistent use of positive teaching and reinforcement strategies among all school staff at school-wide, classroom, and individual student levels.
-
Reduce the use of reactive discipline measures (office discipline, referrals, etc.) in schools for all students.
-
Increase data-based decision-making about behavior and academic instruction and reinforcement across all school settings.
-
Implement effective comprehensive supports/services/interventions for students with the most intensive behavioral/emotional needs.
