MTSS
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:
- Positive Student and Teacher Relationships
- Classroom and School Environment that promotes Pro-Social Behavior
- 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.”
