Student performance including self discipline is a function of student engagement.  Young people who are engaged in the learning process are less likely to behave in an unacceptable manner.  Therefore, the school's first obligation under discipline is to provide the best learning environment possible.  The school-wide discipline plan is based on two components based on the school's values.  1.  Cooperation based on collaboration among teachers, respect for young people, and cooperation with home families.  2.  Formative, positive discipline as opposed to punative discipline.

PBS (Positive Behavior Support) is a process for creating safer and more effective schools.  PBS is a systems approach to enhancing the capacity of schools to educate all children by developing research-based, school-wide and classroom discipline systems.  The process focuses on inproving a school's ability to teach and support positive behavior for all students.  Rather than a prescribed program, PBS provides systems for schools to design, implement, and evaluate effective school-wide, classroom, non-classroom, and student specific discipline plans.  PBS includes school-wide procedures and processes intended for:

• ALL students, ALL staff, and in ALL settings
• Non-classroom settings within the school environment
• Individual classrooms and teachers, and
• Individual student supports for the estimated 3-7% of the students who present the most challenging behaviors.

PBS is not a program or curriculum (there is no kit).  IT IS a team-based process for systematic problem solving, planning and evaluation.  It is an approach to creating an environment within which school-based teams of educators are trained:

• Systems change
• Effective behavior management principles and practices and
• Applications of research-validated instruction and management practices
