PRIDE Moments

What is PBIS?

  • Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is a framework to teaching and supporting positive behaviors and meeting the needs of ALL students. This school-wide approach to discipline focuses on building a safe and positive environment in which all students can learn. Emphasis is given to the impact of implementing PBIS on the social, emotional and academic outcomes for students.  

    The following 5 PRIDE expectations are the foundation of PBIS within the Pocono Mountain School District: 
     
                                           Be Prepared
                                           Be Respectful
                                           Be Involved
                                           Be Dependable
                                           Be Empathetic  
     
    The goal of the PRIDE framework is to educate students on the District's behavioral expectations in order to maximize the academic success of all students. Throughout the District, students follow PRIDE rules, are prepared, show respect, get involved, are dependable, and are empathetic toward others. 
     

Teaching Expectations

  • Throughout the school year, students are taught appropriate behaviors  according to the five expectations. Teachers help students learn what the expectations “look” and “sound” like in every setting during the school day. These lessons are re-taught and reinforced throughout the school year, and  become a regular part of the instructional program. Data on behavioral outcomes is collected and analyzed to determine student progress toward school-wide behavioral goals and expectations.
