Positive Behavior and
Intervention Support
 What is PBIS?
School-wide positive behavior and
intervention support (PBIS) is a broad
set of research-validated strategies
designed to create school environments
that promote and support appropriate
behavior of all students.
 Core Principles
We can effectively teach appropriate
behavior to all children. All School-wide
PBIS practices are founded on the
assumption and belief that all children
can exhibit appropriate behavior.

What does PBIS look like
for our school?
Begin with teaching students the school-
wide expectations using the matrix
posters. (See handbook)
Communicating Classroom
Expectations
•  Role play examples and non-examples of
appropriate behavior
•  Have class discussion afterwards
•  Teach students how to respond to
conflict
•  Practice routines and procedures
•  Review periodically throughout the
school year.
Every Classroom will use the
Tiger Paw Color Chart
 Tiger Paw Color Chart
•  Everyone will use 5 minutes at the end of
the day to color in their monthly behavior
calendar.
•  Students should bring these back signed
each day.
•  The will receive points for bringing back
their behavior calendar signed.
 Classroom behavior

 Class Rewards:
Tiger Bucks
•  Tiger Bucks provide opportunities for each class to work
towards receiving a reward for doing the right thing.
•  Tiger Bucks will be given for appropriate behavior in the
hallway, cafeteria, specials, lunch Etc.
•  Each month the Tiger bucks will be collected and counted
to determine the winner for each grade level
•  Admin., IA’s, resource staff, and special area teachers will
issue the tiger bucks. Teachers may issue Tiger Bucks as
long as they are not awarded to their own classrooms.
•  Each class that wins, will receive a reward
 Distributing and Collecting Tiger Bucks
•  Containers of Tiger Bucks will be in the front office. If
and when they run out, teachers may make photocopies of
Tiger Bucks until the office can restock our supply.
•  When Tiger Bucks are given to a class, the teacher will
place these in a brown mailing envelope.
•  Be sure to distribute frequently; Look for classes that are
following the school-wide rules and expectations
