PBS
What is PBS?
Positive Behavior Support is a proactive approach to discipline that includes the prevention of undesirable behaviors by using a program that actively teaches and reinforces appropriate skills and behaviors.
PBS uses a simple set of behavioral expectations in order to positively change discipline outcomes. The three positive behavior expectations chosen by CMS are respectful, responsible, and reliable.
