PBIS: Positive Behavioral Interventions and
Supports! This is a K-12 initiative and priority. All of our schools are
focusing on improving their climates and focusing on teaching pro-social
behaviors and expectations.
To create safer, more caring learning environments,
Rush-Henrietta has implemented Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports,
more commonly known as PBIS. As part of the program, we have established rules
for appropriate behavior. We’re teaching these expectations to students and
rewarding them when they respond appropriately. PBIS works by identifying,
monitoring, teaching, and reinforcing these districtwide
expectations:
- Be responsible
- Be
respectful
- Be
trustworthy
- Be caring
- Be ready to
learn
As part of its parent education
efforts, Rush-Henrietta has produced a brief video that provides an overview of
this initiative. Click here
