PBIS
PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) is a framework for creating an environment that promotes a culture of excellence by creating a Respectful, Responsible and Caring learning community. At GKES, this is achieved by providing behavioral and social emotional supports using a multi-tiered approach based on student need. PBIS includes proactive strategies for defining, teaching, supporting and acknowledging expected school behaviors. Students often need encouragement and direct skills instruction to improve their behavior and learn new ways of responding to social and academic challenges.
