Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports: (PBIS) Positive Impact – Something for your school to think about?
In 2013-14 K-Beach Elementary, Nikolaevsk School and Soldotna Elementary began their first year of implementation. Other schools who continued a previously established PBIS framework included Homer Flex, Nikiski North Star Elementary, Ninilchik School, Redoubt Elementary, and Sterling Elementary. In 2014-15, three schools will begin implmenting PBIS practices: Razdolna School, Voznesenka School, and West Homer Elementary.
PBIS practices have a direct impact on the learning of students in participating KPBSD schools.
In the eight school implementing PBIS in 2013-14 there was a combined total of 362 fewer Office Discipline Referrals than last school year. This equates to an estimated gain of 16,290 minutes of academic engaged time for students in the schools, which is the equivalent of 271.5 hours or roughly 45 school days of learning!
