"Pyramid of Behavior Interventions: Seven Keys to a Positive Learning Environment" (pg. 19) Hierck. T, Coleman. C, Weber, C 2011; Solution Tree Press
It is our assertion that successful implementation of PBIS and PLC's is enhanced by focusing on these seven keys. Coleman,C. (2003). Beyond tokens and rewards. //Adminfo//, 16(2), 7-8.

1. **Common expectations** 2. **Targeted instruction** 3. Positive reinforcement 4. Support strategies and interventions 5. Collaborative teams 6. Data-driven dialogue 7. School-wide systems approach
 * Successful schools condense school rules, codes of conduct, and mission statements into a few easy-to-remember, positive common words or phrases. They set a positive tone by linking behavior expectations to academic expectations. Students, staff, and parents know what the expectations are, and everyone in the school uses a common language. Adults in the school model the expectations.(more in chapter 2)
 * In successful schools, all staff teach common school-wide expectations in a variety of ways and in various settings (in classes, the library, during assemblies, on the bus, and so on) to all students. They give students opportunities to develop, practice, and demonstrate these appropriate social and academic skills. Staff members focus on common expectations and related social skills by reviewing them regularly, practicing them frequently, and recognizing and rewording them when students display the skills correctly. They teach social skills in the same manner as academic skills, using processes of demonstrate, practice, review, and celebrate. (more in chapter 3)

What is PBIS?

 * 1) PBIS is a framework or approach for assisting school personnel in adopting and organizing evidence-based behavioral interventions into an integrated continuum that enhances academic and social behavior outcomes for all students.
 * 2) PBIS __IS NOT__ a packaged curriculum, scripted intervention, or manualized strategy.
 * 3) PBIS __IS__ a prevention-oriented way for school personnel to (a) organize evidence-based practices, (b) improve their implementation of those practices, and (c) maximize academic and social behavior outcomes for students.
 * 4) PBIS supports the success of __ALL__ students.
