The Salinas Union High School District implements positive behavior interventions and supports (PBIS) for students from middle school through high school. These behavioral issues usually disrupt students' learning which impacts their academic success and chances of graduating. The purpose of the PBIS understanding behavior powerpoint is a five lesson plan for staff and students to understand behaviors and how to apply a positive intervention in order to have a positive school climate where students feel welcomed and supported. An email was sent to all staff with instructions to review the presentation with their students. At the end of the presentation a survey is available for teachers to complete. The expected outcome to have is an overall improvement in student behavior and a reduction in disciplinary behaviors. The results of the survey showed that 12 of teachers completed the survey with 70 % providing positive remarks and experience. Recommendations for the school district is to continue doing yearly check-ins and training with staff to ensure the presentation remains effective for them as well as the students. Additionally, gathering feedback from the staff and parents about the presentation would allow for future improvements and insights.
