Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports has been implemented in all Waterloo Community Schools. Since its emergence in the mid-1980s, PBIS has developed rapidly as a multifaceted approach for addressing behavior concerns in schools. Parents can use the PBIS techniques at home to help children understand boundaries and rules.
Here are some simple tips for parents:
- ask your child what the school wide expectations are at their school,
- try to incorporate similar language and expectations in the home environment and
- catch your child doing the “right” thing and tell them you noticed!
