Positive Behavior Supports
at Ray Miller Elementary
Our school uses a system in which the emphasis is on school-wide systems of support that include proactive strategies for establishing, teaching, and supporting a system of expectations for appropriate student behavior. The Positive Behavior Support system establishes a continuum of positive behavior support for all students within a school.
We are focused on creating and sustaining primary (school-wide), secondary (classroom), and tertiary (individual) systems of support that will help all students learn and demonstrate socially appropriate behavior. The graphic below illustrates how these varying levels of support are implemented in our school.
