Building
Building needs will be identified through data desegregation of behavior referrals and logs. Problematic behavior

The school improvement plan will be used as a rubric to guide all decision making.
Objectives:
Establish a leadership team that will assist administration to:
• build capacity of all stakeholders’ understanding of school wide PBIS
• establish core values and expectations for the building
• identify positive rewards to motivate students
• build a dynamic communication tool for all stakeholders
• create an extensive resource file for all staff to access

Develop a multi-tiered framework for establishing the social culture and behavioral supports needed for a school to
achieve behavioral and academic outcomes for all students.

Create a comprehensive behavior matrix using consistent language for all areas of the school that is agreed upon by
all stakeholders.

Establish systematic behavior referral forms for Lower Elementary, Upper Elementary, and a separate Office
Referral Form to be used by all staff members.
Provide ongoing professional development to all stakeholders to sustain success of school wide PBIS
implementation throughout entire year.
Evaluation Strategies
Leadership Team – Leadership Team will participate in district and county PD that will build capacity of school
wide PBIS information to assist members in training building staff. Leadership Team will participate in monthly
guided activities provided by district and county leaders to guide leadership understanding throughout the year.
Leadership Team will discuss activities with the district and county leaders each month to further understanding
and next steps in staff training. District and county leaders will serve as mentors to the leadership team.
School Improvement Team – School Improvement Team will work closely with the Leadership Team to create a
matrix for the PBIS school wide goal. School Improvement Team will collect data to measure the usage of PBIS
throughout the building with all teachers and students. This team will share their data with all stakeholders. The
team will monitor state document and report to staff. Areas of deficit will be addressed and improved upon.

Building Staff – All staff will participate in surveys, documenting PBIS lessons in lesson plans, updating PD logs,
attending monthly meetings, and participating in school-wide training days to better monitor and assess school
wide PBIS understanding, usage, and success.

Students – Students will participate in surveys and school wide training to understand all behavior expectations
throughout the school. Data from classroom and office referrals will be collected and analyzed to determine
success of the school wide PBIS model throughout the school.

Professional Learning – Building communication (PBIS SMORE) will be emailed to staff weekly / biweekly to
update professional learning opportunities available through multiple avenues. Staff will document personal
professional learning through a PBIS log that can be used for School Improvement documentation.
Focused and Sustained Time
The establishment of leadership teams, team training, development, implementation, and evaluation of the school
wide PBIS model will take place over a 2-year period. The 2021-2022 school year will be used to collect data and
begin the discussion for the need of a comprehensive multi-tiered framework for establishing the social culture and
behavioral supports needed for a school to achieve behavioral and academic outcomes for all students. The
establishment of the PBIS Leadership Team will be created by April of 2022. This team will work closely with the
School Improvement Team to learn the school wide Title1documentation process. This process and documentation
will help to guide the work that will continue through summer planning. Leadership teams will meet over the
summer to plan PBIS PD for 2022-2023 school year. Administration, leadership teams, district/county teams,
building staff, and students will develop, implement, and evaluate program during the year. Training will continue
