PBIS

PBIS is a proactive approach to increasing positive student behavior through direct instruction. In every NTPS school, staff teach students behavior expectations framed around social traits such as responsibility and respect, and students receive positive recognition for following them. Those who have difficulty learning behavior expectations receive additional instruction in small groups or one-on-one.

PBIS is a key part of our Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) that ensures all NTPS students have access not only to academic support but also to behavior support, including social skills training, problem-solving, and conflict resolution. MTSS aims to intervene early and prevent academic failure, and encourage students to succeed.
