PBIS - Positive Behavior Interventions and Support
What is PBIS?
Wohlwend Elementary practices school-wide positive behavior
interventions and support (PBIS). PBIS is Wohlwend's Universal Process
for teaching expected social and behavioral skills to students. PBIS
teaches the same expectations and routines to all students from
pre-school to fifth grade.
Why PBIS?
Wohlwend has a diverse student population. Developing positive
social behavior for children of all backgrounds, cultural upbringings,
and family situations is a primary focus of our staff. We have found
that developing strong partnerships between teachers, parents and the
community provides a nurturing environment where students grow
academically, socially and emotionally as they develop into life-long
learners. PBIS is dedicated to supporting students and staff through
the Wildcat Way. We strongly believe that providing positive
reinforcement of Wildcat Way behaviors results in increased intrinsic
motivation.
