P.B.I.S. stands for Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports. Jack Benny's P.B.I.S. program teaches and promotes the use of our 5 "Ps": Positive, Polite, Productive, Prompt, and Prepared. An important component of P.B.I.S. is the incentives. Students receive Benny Bucks from teachers for practicing the 5 Ps. During lunch students have the opportunity to purchase many exciting items from the Benny Buck store. The students are very motivated to earn Benny Bucks and the store is a great success. Any items or donations for the store will be greatly appreciated. Celebrating Success! Several times a year, all Jack Benny students enjoy in-school P.B.I.S. celebration events and/or Spirit Days, during which time students participate in many fun activities. Choices included open gym, movies, educational games, open library, computers, staff-student basketball games! Students celebrate P.B.I.S. success in the Library Media Center.
Jack Benny Middle School's P.B.I.S. program was recently recognized by the Illinois State Board of Education. This recognition, which can be read below, can also be found online (at http://www.pbisillinois.org/, under tertiary demo sites, success stories) Tertiary Demos: Success Stories: Waukegan School Develops Capacity for Small Group Interventions Progress Monitoring Pays Off Jack Benny Middle School, Waukegan Community Unit School District 60, is improving their ability to implement Secondary interventions by monitoring progress and adjusting interventions to ensure higher rates of success. More Intensive Intervention Avoided for a Student A student with four ODRs was not experiencing success with Check and Connect. After individualizing the intervention by allowing her to choose her Check and Connect person, she has received only one ODR, and teachers have observed improvement in her behavior. This student's progress will continue to be monitored, but it seems that a more intensive intervention may not be needed at this time.
Congratulations To Students Who Practice the 5 "Ps": Positive, Polite, Productive, Prompt, and Prepared! |
