PBIS
What is PBIS?
As part of District 205's Response to Intervention (RtI) initiatives, Field School has adopted Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) as the framework for implementing a culture of discpline conducive to learning. Research shows that positive reinforcement is one of the best ways to not only change problematic or unexpected behavior, but also works to encourage and maintain expected behavior. As a result, Field School has developed a matrix listing the behavior we expect from students in all common areas of the school (see chart below).
