PBIS Tips for Teachers
Teaching Positive Behavior
Positive behavior is not taught in a 15-minute session on the first day of school. Nor is a week, or even a month, of reinforcement adequate.
PBIS is a systemwide, sustained approach to behavior management, introduced at the outset and reinforced throughout the year.
PBIS supports schools in creating effective social and academic school cultures where there is a common language, common vision and common experience for all students, families, community and staff.
PBIS schools use a multi-tiered approach to intervention. While the universal supports of PBIS are sufficient to maintain acceptable behavior for about 80 percent of students, 15 percent require more targeted supports to reduce specific behaviors. The remaining 5 percent require individualized supports to address more challenging behaviors.

One of the research-based PBIS practices is the use of the teaching matrix for teaching pro-social behavioral expectations. The matrix can be used across all settings, including home and the community. When teaching the matrix it is important to remember to model and discuss positive and negative examples of a behavior. Be sure to operationalize (what would you see/hear) the expected behaviors.
