What is PBIS?

PBIS - Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports is a support system that helps our students achieve academic and social goals. PBIS defines the expectations and behaviors that are expected schoolwide at North Wilkesboro. This support system helps prevent target behaviors and rewards desired behaviors.

 

Our Expectations:

S stands for "Set High Goals"

O stands for "Obey the Rules"

A stands for "Act Safely Everyday"

R stands for "Respect Yourself and Others"

We teach these expectations to all students across all settings, schoolwide. Our matrix shows what is expected every day. We teach and practice expected behaviors with students and help them learn social skills. Eligible students who receive 4 or more minor referrals or 1 or more major referrals in a 9-week quarter lose the opportunity to participate in the Quarterly Reward at the end of the quarter.

How does it work?

  1. Teach expected behaviors. We explicitly teach expected behaviors for the school environment. We model for students by practicing scenarios and model problem-solving strategies.
  2. Reinforce and reward expected behaviors. We acknowledge and reward appropriate behavior with praise and points. Students use points to earn weekly classroom rewards, monthly SOAR Store, and quarterly rewards.
  3. Respond to target behaviors. We use the same system to deal with target behaviors. Techniques include prompting, redirecting, reteaching, and conferencing. We assign minor referrals for ongoing target behaviors and notify parents. Minor behaviors are managed by teachers. Major behavior referrals are managed by our school administrator in the office.
  4. Provide more support when needed. We closely monitor data on behaviors. When students need additional support, our PBIS team collaborates with our school MTSS team, the families, and students to identify ways to support the student.
