PBIS TIER 1 BEHAVIOR SUPPORTS
Tier 1 Interventions in Pulaski County Special School District (PCSSD) will be implemented using the Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) framework. PBIS promotes positive individual reinforcement, a safe and orderly learning environment, and offers the earliest support. It emphasizes respectful and responsible behavior strategies by all students.
PBIS IS SUPPORTED BY THE FOLLOWING COMPONENTS
School-wide behavior matrix
All schools have 3 to 5 common school-wide behavior expectations
Lessons are taught that focus on expected classroom behavior and social success in other areas of the school building such as the cafeteria, restroom, hallway, playground, etc.
Booster Sessions for students and staff throughout the school-year.
School wide positive reinforcement system (ex. bus bucks, PBIS reward points, etc.)
Response to Inappropriate Behavior through the school's Discipline Management Plan (DMP)
Minor & Major Flowchart (elementary, middle, and high school)
Data Collection (Tiered Fidelity Inventory, Self-Assessment Survey, School/District Discipline Data)
Restorative Practice
TIER 1 BEHAVIOR PROTOCOL
