Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports

  • Phoenix Academy High School has a school-wide approach to discipline and behavior management.  Our goal is to provide guidance, rewards, and consequences to assist students in replacing negative behaviors with more acceptable behaviors. Each teacher designs a creative classroom management plan that focuses on behavior modification in a more positive way.

     

    Positive Behavior Intervention & Support is a broad range of strategies for achieving important leaning outcomes while also preventing problem behavior. PBIS has three main components at Phoenix Academy High School:

    1. Positive Student and Teacher Relationships
    2. Classroom and School Environment that promotes Pro-Social Behavior
    3. High Expectations for all students

     

    The faculty has developed a matrix to help our school community understand how we do business at Phoenix Academy High School.  The matrix focuses on “SOAR.”

    Phoenix Academy High School is excited about the implementation of PBIS and the promise it holds for reducing the number of interruptions to student learning, as well as preparing our students to succeed in all they do.
