PBIS

Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS), is the behavior component of Response to Intervention (RtI). PBIS at Indian Trail is a school wide initiative allowing us to be on the same page with regards to discipline and student behavior. We will use a continuum of positive supports for all students in all areas – classroom and non-classroom settings.
 
 

Goals

  • Teach all students the behaviors we expect.
  • Provide a safe environment where students achieve academically and socially.
  • Increase academic achievement through consistent behavioral expectations.
  • Encourage positive behaviors and interactions.
  • Decrease problem behaviors.
  • Reduce the number of disciplinary referrals.
