Positive Behavior Intervention and Support (PBIS)

Allen staff is in the process of developing a Positive Behavior Intervention and Support (PBIS) program.   Within the next few years each elementary school in Ann Arbor will have this program in place.   PBIS is a proactive, team-based framework for creating and sustaining safe and effective schools.  The system focuses on positive behaviors and teaches students what these behaviors look like.  Having PBIS in place will create common expectations, language and rules for all students to follow wherever they go in the building.  Allen staff will work throughout the rest of the year developing the necessary components for PBIS implementation.   We plan to roll out the program next September.  We will continue to provide updates as we move forward with the development of the new program.
