Positive Behavior Interventions and Support
Antioch C.C. School District 34 has adapted Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) as the framework for implementing a culture of discipline conductive to learning.
Research shows us that positive reinforcement is one of the best ways to not only change problematic, or unexpected behavior, but also to encourage and maintain expected behavior.
Every school in Antioch School District 34 has developed a matrix listing the behavior we expect from students in all common locations of the school building (displayed below).
Antioch Upper Grade School
Hillcrest Elementary School
These rules are taught systematically and explicitly by staff within the first two weeks of school and following prolonged school breaks. Students are recognized for displaying appropriate behavior at a high rate and corrected for inappropriate behavior in a re-teach model. Students who continue to display inappropriate or unsafe behavior will be referred to the office per the school board discipline policy. Data is kept on office referrals to monitor location, time, frequency, and problem behavior. This data is used to help guide re-teaching, reinforcement schedules, and guide decision making.
