PBIS is a decision making framework for your campus-based teams that guides their selection, integration, and implementation of the best research-based practices and interventions.

Classroom Management
Good classroom management is something that you can see and feel but defining it is more complex. When systems are in place in the classroom, a perfect marriage of increased academic success and decreased behavior problems occurs. In turn, the climate and culture of the classroom is one of safety where students can thrive. Randy Spick, Educational Consultant for Safe and Civil Schools, developed the STOIC framework, a mulit-tiered system of preventionand intervention that empowers educators. STOIC is an acronym that stands for "five puzzle pieces:"
Structure for success
Teach expectations
Observe systemically
Interact positively
Correct calmly
