Every time any adult interacts with any student, it is an instructional moment!

Reinforcement

Who’s job is it to teach students to behave appropriately?

• Creating a positive, safe, and effective school climate is everyone’s responsibility

• If students are not demonstrating appropriate behavior, we teach them

• PBIS is about the whole school working together to create a positive school climate
