AUSD Notes: Positive schoolwide behavior in Alameda recognized by state coalition
Briefly

The California State PBIS Coalition has recognized 15 schools within the Alameda Unified School District for effectively implementing Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports in the 2023-24 school year. This includes nine schools achieving the highest platinum level, showcasing the effectiveness of proactive behavioral strategies.
PBIS promotes teaching optimal student behavior instead of relying on punishment for inappropriate actions. Its foundation lies in creating a supportive, positive environment that recognizes appropriate behavior alongside providing individual support for those who struggle.
Research confirms that schools implementing PBIS experience increased attendance, better learning environments, reduced behavioral disruptions, and ultimately improved academic performance, illustrating how such interventions can transform educational outcomes.
The awardees reflect the commitment to a robust PBIS program, which encompasses clearly defined behavioral expectations, consistent teaching, and the acknowledgment of positive behaviors, all tailored to meet diverse student needs.
