The one-day virtual showcase featured PBIS implementers highlighting successes, lessons learned and practical strategies from both elementary and secondary settings. CUSD 10 presenters and their presentations are featured below:

What is PBIS?
Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is a proactive, evidence-based framework used in schools to teach, reinforce and reward positive behaviors rather than merely punishing negative ones. It creates a safe, positive school climate by establishing consistent behavioral expectations across three tiers of support, aiming to improve social-emotional and academic outcomes.

Caseyville Principal Chelsea Clark & SPED Teacher Amanda Corey

Caseyville Elementary School Principal Chelsea Clark and Special Education Teacher Mandy Corey presented on Topic 2.6: Decision Rules for Assigning and Exiting Students for Intervention. They talked about their school's data decision rules for entering and exiting students into various layers of intervention and support. They shared different data tracking tools they use throughout their building - one that was specifically adopted by PBIS that Mrs. Corey created herself!

DIS Presenters Corina Hamilton, Heather Asperger, Tatum Darr & Leah Davis

Dorris Intermediate School teachers Corina Hamilton, Heather Asperger and Tatum Darr, and Assistant Principal Leah Davis shared their staff professional development success story. Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) were intentionally structured to focus on PBIS implementation and continuous improvement. Some PLC sessions were designed as station rotations. Other PLCs were organized as longer group rotations, providing teams extended time to collaborate, share effective practices and plan consistent supports. According to the team, the varied PLC structure promoted engagement, deepened understanding and supported schoolwide consistency in PBIS practices.
