What is PBIS?PBIS at Kenneth MurphyKenneth Murphy Elementary School began school-wide implementation of Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) in 2014-2015. PBIS focuses on creating and sustaining school-wide, classroom, and individual systems of support that improve the educational environment for all children. Our aim is to explicitly teach behavioral expectations and then recognize the positive behaviors shown by students. As a Response to Intervention model, PBIS applies a three-tiered system of support, and a problem-solving process to enhance the capacity of schools to effectively educate all students.
How Do We Implement PBIS?By implementing PBIS, we hope to reduce school and classroom behavior disruptions and educate all students about acceptable school behaviors. Our PBIS implementation plan includes clearly defined outcomes, research-validated practices, supportive administrative systems, and information for problem-solving behaviors.
All staff members at Kenneth Murphy Elementary School will establish regular, predictable, positive learning and teaching environments. The staff members will serve as positive role models to students as they reach expected school behaviors. Our school also has a system in place for recognizing and rewarding expected behaviors. By improving the school environment, we hope to increase learning time and promote academic and social success for every student. For more information, download the |
