Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS)
PBIS is a research-based framework for teaching and
supporting positive behaviors for ALL students.
This school-wide approach to discipline focuses on building
a safe, positive environment in which all students can learn.
The benefits of implementing PBIS include:
Fewer behavioral issues
More instructional time
Better attendance for student success.
The foundation of PBIS in the Baraboo School District lies in
the 3 fundamental expectations at All of our schools:
* Be Responsible
* Be Respectful
* Be Safe

BEHAVIOR MATRIX
The Behavior Matrix is a detailed description of expected behaviors to be practiced in each setting of the school. For example, in the hallway, "stay to the right" instructs how to be safe when in the hallway The matrix is posted throughout the school.
TEACHING EXPECTATIONS
Throughout the school year, students are taught what it looks like to be responsible, respectful, and safe in every setting during the school day. The lessons are called "Cool Tools" (behavioral lessons.) These lessons will be re-taught and reinforced throughout the school year and become part of the instructional program. Reminders are frequently used, for example, "Be polite and stay to the right."
ACKNOWLEDGMENT SYSTEM
Acknowledging and reinforcing positive behavior is one of the best ways to encourage appropriate behavior. Students can earn tickets for meeting behavior expectations. When goals are met, students enjoy school-wide celebrations.
BEHAVIOR REPORTING FORMS
Even with clear expectations and positive reinforcement, sometimes students will misbehave. A behavior report is written to report the incident. Students are assisted in learning the desired behavior again by completing a follow-up agreement, conferencing with the teacher, meeting with staff and parents, etc.
*Minor infractions - disruptive to the learning environment
*Major infractions - more serious or repeated inappropriate behaviors
*Effective interventions and supports will be in place to help students succeed in all academic and behavior areas.
DATA COLLECTION
Collecting data about the times, places, behaviors, etc. ensures informed decision-making to help all students meet the expectations through further interventions.
One student from each classroom,
who consistently uses their "cool tools",
is chosen by their teacher to be a special agent for a week.
Each PBIS Secret Agent is given
10 "Ruby Red" train tickets (5 points each)
to distribute to other students who use
their "cool tools" on a regular basis.
