14. PBIS supports for students with disabilities that are serviced beyond the gen. ed. classroom We have one of 5 EBD “self-contained” units throughout the 29 elementary schools in Kenosha for 8 years. We don’t believe in “self-contained”. Staff needs continuous training and support. We have a growth mindset. “Tomorrow is a new day.” Find the “function” of the behavior. Consider trauma and wrap around services. Relationships with students and families is vital to success. Students need to feel safe.

15. Trauma Activity

16. Our final PBIS thoughts and TIPS! Changing behavior takes TIME! Don’t take behavior PERSONAL! Get to the FUNCTION of the behavior! Don’t BLAME the child! Continue to TEACH behavior. Help staff UNDERSTAND differences in behavior! COMMUNICATE with all involved! EXPECT bumps in the road! Plans will need to change. It’s a JOURNEY! Don’t stop trying! 100% of our students need to find success. These children need us the most!
