EPISODE 8 PBIS Boot Camp: Where Theory Comes to Life

PBIS Journey to Genius

Ever wondered why your child’s school places so much emphasis on something called PBIS? What if we told you that it’s the key to managing student behavior and promoting a positive learning environment? Join us today as we unravel the mysteries behind the Positive Behavior Intervention and Support (PBIS) system in schools and explain how crucial data is in guiding its implementation. We'll share insights into the use of programs like SWIS for data assessment and an inside look at how we create an expected behavior matrix for different school zones.
Let's paint a picture together of a PBIS boot camp. Imagine students actively practicing the required behaviors - a fascinating exercise that brings theories to life. This episode also features a practical approach to teaching rules in schools. Hear about our unique "daily five" concept, where peer pressure is creatively used to encourage rule-following. We'll share the story of Diane and Dianne's successful "buddy teacher timeout" system and their emphasis on having the principal's involvement.
As we journey towards becoming geniuses in managing school behavior, we'll explore the importance of establishing and enforcing rules and procedures. This journey doesn't end here; it's just the beginning. As a curtain raiser to our next episode, we'll touch upon the acknowledgment system in schools - a motivating tool that helps students understand expectations. So, buckle up for an enlightening conversation that promises to change your perspective on school discipline and behavior management.
