What is PB4L?
TIS PB4L Rewards
PB4L-School-Wide is made up of practices and systems that help schools create positive learning and teaching environments. Based on international evidence, it looks at behavior and learning from a whole-of-school as well as an individual child perspective.
School-Wide takes the approach that opportunities for learning and achievement increase if:
-
The school environment is positive and supportive.
-
Expectations are consistently clear
-
Students are taught desired behaviours
-
Students are consistently acknowledged for desired behaviours
-
Students are responded to fairly and equitably.
