-- POSITIVE BEHAVIOR INTERVENTION SUPPORTS-

Positive Behavior Intervention Supports, also known as PBIS, is a philosophy that is often adopted by school districts to decrease the number of referrals or negative behaviors. It is a means of establishing a school-wide culture that focuses on the positive aspects of a child and his/her behavior in order to reduce the time spent on classroom management. I choose this topic as a way to familiarize myself with the language used as well as the resources available for future refrence.

-TOP FIVE THINGS LEARNED---

1) PBIS must be school wide. To be effective the students have to know the expectations of the teachers and know the consequences as well. Clearly stated school-wide deliverance of PBIS ensures consistnacy and saftey for students. 2) Be Respectful. Be Responsible. Be Safe! Keep it short, simple, memorable. 3) Teach what is to be expected. Many of the presentations mention teaching reading and writing, why not rules or school culture? 4) List and say things in a positive format. Example: "Walking feet" inseated of "No Running!". 5) Behavior Interventions require evaluation of the student, the behavior, and the motive behind the behavior. Teachers must assess before intervening inapropriately.

5/5 Stars

I chose to showcase this book because of it's practicality. I love the table of contents and it's ease of access. If there is a particular behavioral issue you can look it up and it has specific scenarios for you to follow. I believe this would be a nice addition to any teachers library.

I especially like that this shows bad examples as well so that there leaves very little grey area. <span style="font-family: 'Lucida Console',Monaco,monospace; font-size: 160%;">5/5 stars
