You have probably heard of the acronym “PBIS”. But do you know what PBIS stands for? According to the PBIS. org website: “Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is an evidence-based three-tiered framework for improving and integrating all of the data, systems, and practices affecting student outcomes every day. PBIS isn’t a curriculum you purchase or something you learn during a one-day professional development training. It is a commitment to addressing student behavior through systems change. When it’s implemented well, students achieve improved social and academic outcomes, schools experience reduced exclusionary discipline practices, and school personnel feel more effective.”

We all want our students to be successful. We want to create the most effective, most inclusive schools that we possibly can. That is why our district is building up a solid PBIS foundation across school sites this year. To that end, MJUSD is developing capacity for PBIS by:
 
  • Training principals in PBIS philosophy and practices.
  • Partnering with Placer County Office of Education and Yuba County Office of Education to train staff in PBIS.
  • Forming PBIS teacher teams at school sites.
  • Creating action plans for PBIS implementation in our schools. 
  • Developing behavior expectations that support a positive school climate.
 
Our PBIS efforts involve the entire school community, including students, parents, and staff.
