Agenda Item Summary: ACPS utilizes a Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS). The MTSS framework is comprised of two primary areas: academics and behavior and is supported by the Department of Student Services, Alternative Programs & Equity (DSSAPE) and the Department of Curriculum and Instruction. ACPS uses the Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports (PBIS) framework to support social emotional learning, behavioral development and to promote a positive school climate and culture.
Background: The social emotional and behavioral component of MTSS is also referred to as Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports or PBIS, which is an evidence based framework that provides the structures, procedures, interventions and supports needed for students to be socially, emotionally and behaviorally successful. . PBIS systems and practices help to create and maintain positive learning environments for students and staff. Under this framework, students’ needs are addressed through social emotional curriculum, restorative practices and positive behavior interventions and supports. SEAL and RP are used within the PBIS framework to support students’ social emotional and behavioral development.
Recommendation: The Superintendent recommends that the School Board review the information provided in this brief as preparation for an upcoming School Board presentation.
