The Evolution of PBIS in Our School Boards
External Study to Identify Best
Practices: Some Results…
➢ PBIS framework is perfectly in tune with Ministry’s
requirements
➢ Tri-board partnership = success that should be
replicated
➢ Support of coordinator and coaches is an obvious
advantage
External Study to Identify Best
Practices: More Results…
 Leadership and commitment of school principal are
key factors
 PBIS schools = greater harmonization of practices
among staff
 Parents = very satisfied
External Study to Identify Best
Practices: Even More Results…
➢ Very positive impact on students, even at the high
school level
▫ Values learned have a positive influence on their
behaviour
▫ Better understanding of the consequences of their
behaviour
« It would be natural to believe that the students’
mental health and well-being are improved in these
schools. »
