CTC Standards – Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS)
“Your system is perfectly designed to give you the results you’re getting.”
–W. Edwards Deming
INTRO
Is your school encouraging good behavior in a way that shows up in better grades, less disciplinary incidents, and more smiles? Can its implementation of Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) be improved so that it reaches more students and impacts not only their behavior, but their academic and personal growth. How about teachers? Can your teachers benefit from more support so that they can implement PBIS with more ease, confidence and results?
PBIS is a framework designed to help schools establish effective behavior systems at all levels: Tier 1 School-Wide, Tier 2 Targeted/At-Risk, and Tier 3 Individualized. The PBIS framework aligns with Response to Intervention (RtI) Behavior and Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS). Check out the resources below to help you with some best practices, expert how-to’s and valuable information.

Responding to Problem Behavior in Schools, Second Edition: The Behavior Education Program (Guilford Practical Intervention in the Schools) 2nd (second) Edition by Crone Phd, Deanne A., Hawken Phd, Leanne S., Horner PhD, Rob (2010) Paperback – 1994
The Behavior Education Program: A Check-In, Check-Out Intervention for students at risk is outlined in this book. Steps for implementation and examples are provided. Inequality in School Discipline: Research and Practice to Reduce Disparities
This edited volume fills a critical void by providing the most current and authoritative information on what is known about disciplinary disparities. School exclusion—out-of-school suspension and expulsion in particular—remains a substantial component of discipline in our nation’s schools, and those consequences continue to fall disproportionally on certain groups of learners. The negative consequences of frequent and inequitable use of school exclusion are substantial, including higher rates of academic failure, dropout, and contact with the juvenile justice system. As educators, policymakers, community leaders, and other youth-serving organizations begin the difficult work of creating more equitable school disciplinary systems, the need for effective disparity-reducing alternatives could not be more important.
