Positive Behavior Interventions & Supports (PBIS)
Positive Behavior Interventions & Supports (PBIS) is an approach to viewing and dealing with social control issues within the school community using proactive strategies to positively affect the entire educational experience. Often requiring a mind-shift from traditional methods of discipline and management, according to Andrea M. Cohn in her piece entitled Positive Behavioral Supports Information of Educators. PBIS has “proven to significantly reduce the occurrence of problem behaviors in the school, resulting in a more positive school climate and increased academic performance.”

Our History |
Over the past 3 years, a team having broad representation of Lindley Sixth Grade Academy’s faculty has undergone focused training in preparation for the school-wide introduction and ultimate implementation of PBIS. Lindley’s PBIS team efforts have resulted in the development of strategies aimed at defining, teaching, and supporting appropriate student behaviors. The foundation from which Lindley’s PBIS system is built upon is the school-wide expectation that Lindley’s Falcons are Scholars. All Lindley Sixth Grade Academy Falcons are Respectful, Responsible, Present, Positive and Scholars. These characteristics capture the essence of the behaviors faculty and students should expect of themselves and each other.
Lindley Sixth Grade Academy has earned 2017-2018 State recognition by the Georgia DOE as an Operational PBIS School. |
