2.  PBS focuses on creating systems with school staff to
promote students to take responsibility for their
behavioral choices.
 PBS is a custom designed process and is not a canned
prescriptive program with a one size fits all for schools.
 Each school tailors the systems to fit their
needs and expectations.

3.  School Wide Systems (for all
students)
 Specific Setting Systems
(hallways, lunch
area, bathrooms, playground,
etc.)
 Classroom Systems (keep
classroom and building
systems consistent)
 Individual Systems (supporting
high risk students with
individual plans)

4. • The staff needs to act together to set common expectations,
not just for learning, but for the behaviors that support learning.
• Staff must come to common agreements to promote
consistency in managing student behavior, teaching students
the desired behaviors, and tracking discipline issues in the
student management decision-making process.

9. PBS @ ERR
Involving students in the creation of expected
behaviours & procedures instructional videos…

10. PBS schools use school-wide
and classroom positive
reinforcement to promote
expected student behavior and
teach behavioral
expectations, like academic
skills.

11. Our goal in potentially adopting the
PBS initiative is to establish and
maintain effective school
environments that maximize
academic achievement and
behavioral competence of all
learners.
