Behavior and Classroom Management
Teaching Expectations
PBIS systems are based on the philosophy that students need to be taught what the expected behaviors are and how to demonstrate them. It provides the framework for a common approach so students and staff clearly understand the behavioral expectations in the different locations in school. The behavior expectations that are taught and acknowledged are more likely to continue in the future. (http://www.altoona.k12.wi.us/schools/middle/pbis/PBISFAQs.pdf)
Classroom Management
Effective classroom management and preventive school discipline are essential for supporting teaching and learning. PBIS goes further by emphasizing that classroom management and preventive school discipline must be integrated and working together with effective academic instruction in a positive and safe school climate to maximize success for all students.

Changing behavior
Most students will succeed when a positive school culture is promoted, informative corrective feedback is provided, academic success is maximized, and use of pro-social skills is acknowledged. When student problem behavior is unresponsive to preventive school-wide and classroom-wide procedures, information about the student’s behavior is used to (a) understand why the problem behavior is occurring (function); (b) strengthen more acceptable alternative behaviors (social skills); (c) remove antecedents and consequences that trigger and maintain problem behavior, respectively; and (d) add antecedents and consequences that trigger and maintain acceptable alternative behaviors.
