Positive Behavior Intervention and Support​ at CGCA 

Positive Behavior Interventions and Support is a proactive approach based on a three-tiered model of prevention and intervention aimed at creating safe and effective schools with a primary purpose of supporting students with disabilities within the least restrictive environment. Emphasis is placed on teaching and reinforcing important social skills and data-based problem-solving to address existing behavior concerns. PBIS is being implemented in thousands of schools across the country and has been demonstrated to reduce discipline problems and increase time for instruction.
