2. What is PBIS
Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is a systematic way of
providing behavior management in schools.
● Uniform consistent expectations developed for all areas of the school
including classroom, hallway, restroom, playground etc.
● The goal is to provide 4-1 positive experiences
● Meant to help “good” kids stay good and reward them for good behavior
● PBIS can be whatever you make it to be

3. Tiers
● Tier 1- Universal- puts things in place to support all student behavior
● Tier 2- Targeted- for the 20% that need a little more than what Tier 1 can
give them. Intervention examples are class pass, school-home note, self
monitoring, CICO with a daily Behavior Progress Report behavior chart
● Tier 3- Intensive- out of the 20% that need a little more about 30% of
those need a little more individualized supports. They may or may not
need or qualify for Sped, but they need more. CICO with behavior chart
plus direct teaching among other interventions including possibly some
time out of the classroom

4. Data
● Track Majors and Minors
○ Majors- Office Discipline Referral (ODR) when learning has stopped
○ Minors- chronic disruptive behaviors that should be documented
● Big 5- who, when, where, what, how often

6. Responsive Classroom (RC)
● Falcon Ridge is a RC building and RC meshes well with PBIS. RC is:
○ Morning meeting
■ team building and working on social skills of sharing and turn taking
○ Logical consequences
■ take a break
■ You break it you fix it
■ Loss of privilege-everything is a privilege
■ Social conferences
○ Teacher language
■ Be direct and authentic
■ Show faith in abilities and intentions
■ Action oriented-not vague language
■ Brief
■ Know when to be silent

7. RC
● Guided Discovery
○ expect students know nothing and teach everything
○ Teach every part of everything and teach what could go wrong if you use something
incorrectly
● Classroom Organization
○ To build efficiency and control
