What’s It All About, Lely?

Definition of PBS(This is the ‘official’ one)

• Positive Behavior Support (PBS) gives people a new way to think about behavior. PBS is based on understanding why problem behaviors occur - the behavior's function. This approach to behavior can occur on a school-wide level, in a specific setting, classroom, or with an individual student. PBS is the application of evidence-based strategies and systems to assist schools to increase academic performance, increase safety, decrease problem behavior, and establish positive school cultures.

Why It’s Important to Fill Out That Sheet…

This 3rd grader started with CICO in November. With the support of her teacher and Mr. Goldstein, her self-control improved so that she was attaining that 80% goal!

Tier 3When the small group interventions aren’t helping the student achieve the goal, it is time to create an individual plan. Many people can be involved in the planning. In the RtI folder, there is an

intervention form that can be filled out to help address the problem and set attainable goals.

Bottom Line…What Does it Mean?
