Positive Behaviors Interventions & Supports

Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is an evidence-based, data-driven framework proven to reduce disciplinary incidents, increase a school’s sense of safety and support improved academic outcomes. When implementing PBIS with fidelity, GCA is able to improve social emotional competence, academic success, and school climate. PBIS also improves teacher health and wellbeing. The SOAR matrix has allowed GCA to implement PBIS into the virtual classroom. Through SOAR, students are being taught positive behavior strategies and expectations. When teachers model the expectations and implement the PBIS strategies, students soar as learners with less behaviors interrupting valuable class time.
