PBIS and Positive School Climate

Ranked #1,739 in Education, #41,033 overall | Donates to Humane Society of the United States

Creating safe, positive, and inclusive environments

PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) is a systems approach to create and maintain positive school climates.  This evidence-based framework emphasizes preventing school discipline problems.  PBIS provides ideas to support  teaching, modeling and recognizing positive, appropriate behavior in schools.  It also identifies systems for logically responding to classroom and individual student problems. Data is used to evaluate progress and guide school teams. By promoting and sustaining safe learning environments PBIS increases the capacity of staff to reduce behavioral problems.  PBIS stresses identifying outcomes, data use, systems and practices to create and sustain a positive school climate.


For an in depth look at PBIS please check out the National Technical Assistance Center on Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) out at:  www.pbis.org


The purpose of this lens is to focus on practical links to assist folks in creating and sustaining a positive school climate.

    As build up a successful project is not a very much trouble-free job. Key drivers of project need to learn about taking care of a project previous to initiating real arrangement. This one is a nice lens about project management.
    Thanks.
