How to Make PBIS Work Effectively in Your Classroom

This presentation focuses on the best practices for establishing and maintaining a PBIS operational school as well as the research that supports how to make PBIS work effectively in the classroom. We will investigate the four goals of misbehavior and analyze the difference in praise and encouragement. We will explore ways to increase instructional time while decreasing negative behaviors in the classroom. Testimonies from Meadowcreek Cluster teachers about various classroom management strategies, such as Class Dojo, will be reviewed. Class Dojo tracks positive and negative behaviors for individual students, groups of students, and the class as a whole. From the data collected teachers, parents, and students are able to target the behaviors that need improvement as well as address the behaviors in a positive manner. Lastly, teachers will have the opportunity to see research that depicts the effects of specific and individualized praise, positive behavior rewards, and building relationships with students
