just for schools. Parents can use the same ideas to
create a better environment for the entire family.

Learn About PBIS,
Practice Drills and More |
PBIS is a pro-active school-wide
systems approach to managing student behavior.
PBIS is researched validated and uses evidence based
interventions to support students, staff and families.
Introducing, modeling, and reinforcing positive social behavior
is important in a student’s educational experience. Teaching
behavioral rules/expectations and rewarding students for
following them is a much more positive approach than waiting for
misbehavior to occur before responding. The purpose of
school-wide PBS is to establish a positive climate in which
appropriate behavior is the norm.
Instead of using a patchwork of individual behavioral management
plans, a continuum of positive behavior support for all students
within a school is implemented in areas including classroom and
non-classroom settings (such as hallways, restrooms).
Positive behavior support is an application of a
behaviorally-based systems approach to enhance the capacity of
schools to design effective environments that improve the link
between practices and the environments in which teaching and
learning occurs.
Why does the Schenectady City School District have a district
approach to behavior?
§
To increase learning time
§
To teach all students social skills they will need as adults
§
To support and maintain a safe and positive learning environment
§
Reduce unnecessary office discipline referrals and suspensions
§
Help those students who are behaviorally at-risk
§
Help the families of those behaviorally at-risk students

PBIS In Our
Schools
1.
Form a team (team based planning and problem solving):
Six or more staff members meet monthly and plan their
school’s program
2. Each school decides their
own School wide rules or expectations such as:
-
Be Safe
-
Be Respectful
-
Be Responsible
-
Be Positive etc.
3. Teams develop a behavior
matrix which tells students
how to act in different locations in the
school. Example below:
|
RULES |
SETTING |
|
Hallway |
Cafe |
Bathroom |
|
Be
Safe |
Walk
on the right |
If it
spills, clean it up |
Wash
your hands |
|
Be
Respectful |
Keep
hands & feet to yourself |
Wait
your turn |
Flush
Respect each
other's privacy |
|
Be
Responsible |
Be on
time |
Eat
your own food |
Put
garbage in
trash can |
4. Teach these rules/expectations
to the students:
Teachers tell
students what is expected of them
Teachers show
student what is expected of them
Teachers and students
practice these social skills in different
areas of the school
Students are
reinforced for using these skills
Students are
corrected and re-taught when they
have behavioral errors
5. PBIS teams meet monthly
and make decisions based on:
Data and information from
staff, students and parents
6. PBIS teams revise their
plans as necessary with the
The district provides on-going
PBIS training to new staff members and refreshers for current
staff.
