This year Irmo Middle is continuing a model to create successful students for the challenges oftomorrow…. The PBIS model is designed to address behaviors that present barriers in the classroom as well as in the school environment while providing students with the necessary interventions and supports to ensure academic success.
What is PBIS?
PBIS is an acronym for “Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports.” It teaches school-wide, positive expectations to promote and maximize academics while minimizing negative behaviors.
PBIS is a paradigm shift for most schools because it encourages teachers to become proactive in the manner in which they manage their classroom. This model will allow our school to work effectively with students and parents to offer interventions and supports that ensure positive behaviors are exhibited by students in the school arena.
Look for more information about PBIS and the wonderful things happening at IMS!
We are excited about this model and eager to see the success.
We encourage the students and parents to get involved and excited as well!!
