School-wide Positive Behavior Support is a program for creating safer and more effective schools.  This systems approach will enhance the capacity to educate all students by developing research-based school-wide and classroom discipline procedures.  Positive Behavior Support has procedures and processes for all students, all staff and in all settings. 

Fundamentals of PBS

Establishing clear expectations for all students in all setting at school.

Identifying positively stated rules for each expectation tailored for every setting of the school.

Teaching students these expectations and rules.

Reinforcing students who behave according to the school's expectations/rules.

Differentiating between minor (classroom-managed) and major (office-managed) behaviors.  

Developing specific consequences for students who choose not to conform to school expectations/rules.

Ongoing evaluations of behavioral data and academic data.
