PBIS is a multi-tiered framework to make schools more effective places. It establishes a social culture and the behavior supports needed to improve, social, emotional, behavioral, and academic outcomes for all students.

The core principles guiding PBIS include:

Effectively teach appropriate behavior to all students.
Intervene early before unwanted behaviors escalate.
Use research-based, scientifically validated interventions whenever possible.
Monitor students progress.
Use data to make decisions.

Here at Socorro Middle, we teach and reteach expectations throughout the school-year to help students understand what behaviors are expected in each area of our school. We utilize a PBIS matrix to clearly communicate and teach those expectations.

When staff members, see a student meeting those expectations, they recognize the students by giving him or her a Golden Ticket. The Golden Ticket is entered in a raffle in which students may win gift cards, candy, etc.
