Welcome to the Mountain View Positive Behavior Support (PBS) page!

What is PBS?

•  PBS is a common approach to discipline with positively stated expectations for all students and staff.  

•  PBS includes procedures for teaching these expectations to students.  

•  PBS includes a continuum of procedures for both encouraging demonstration and maintenance of positive behaviors and discouraging rule-violating behavior.

•  PBS monitors and evaluates the effectiveness of the discipline system on a regular and frequent basis.

What are the principles behind PBS?

PBS is based on the philosophy that children (and adults) respond most effectively to clear expectations and recognition of positive behavior.

How can I use PBS at home?

Our teaching matrix lists the expectations for different areas at school.   There are empty boxes at the bottom if you would like to add areas at home (dinner table, playtime, etc.).   You can also check out our top ten positive behavior tips .
