PBIS

PBIS (Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports)

is a multi-tiered framework for establishing systems, interventions and best practices around social emotional and behavioral needs that enhances schools’ capacity to maximize outcomes for all students.
 

This framework establishes common language and explicit expectations to help promote a positive school culture and is known as being Pawsitive; in reference to our school mascot, the dog. 
 

Transition Plus empowers learners to succeed by embedding behavioral expectations through instruction and practice (PBIS) and by creating a safe space built on relationships.
 

PBIS is a framework for students to be taught and modeled common school-wide Pawsitive expectations. The goal is to be proactive and teach instead of relying on consequences. We are Safe, We are Kind, and We are Responsible are the expectations at Transition Plus.

Transition Plus is a PBIS school that uses school-wide Pawsitive expectations. Expectations are taught and practiced, as well as acknowledged when students make positive behavior choices.
 

Acknowledgment Possibilities:
Individual - Pawsitive Praise Ticket, praise, recognition
Classroom - Classroom celebrations
School-wide -Pawsitive celebrations, and community activities
 

Expectations in Practice:

  • Teachers directly teach Pawsitive expectations to the students. Students discuss and practice the expected behaviors in the classroom and school-wide common areas.
  • Throughout the school, posters will be available for students with the expectations stated and visually shown, as well as choices for them to follow.
  • Throughout the school there are sensory spaces provided for students to process their feelings and work through self regulating steps: breathing, and other activities provided by the teachers. Additional staff are also available including social worker, school psychologist, and student support specialist. 
  • Classrooms will practice and reinforce Pawsitive expectations through direct instruction and social-emotional learning lessons.

Ways to Engage with your student:

  • Ask them if they have received a Pawsitive Ticket lately?

  • Ask them if they know the 3 school-wide expectations?

  • How have you been Safe, Kind, and/or Responsible at school?

  • How have you been Safe, Kind, and/or Responsible at your worksite?

  • How have you been Safe, Kind, and/or Responsible in the community?
