School-wide Positive Behavior Support (PBS) is a collaborative, assessment-based approach to developing effective interventions for problem behaviors school-wide. The emphasis is on the use of proactive, educative, and reinforcement-based strategies to achieve meaningful and durable behavior and lifestyle outcomes.

Proactive: Trying to prevent inappropriate behaviors by putting procedures in place and if needed changing the environment.

Educative: Teaching the students what we expect of them while on our campus (Expectations). Teaching our students the school rules.

Reinforcement Based: Giving students rewards for when they show the schools expectations and when they follow the school rules (Colt’s Club and Shining Star Cards).

Consequences: are still given for inappropriate behavior. We want the consequences to change in the child’s behavior, so the child does not display the same behavior again.
