Safe & Supportive Environment STOIC (Classroom PBIS)

Aligning classroom expectations to the schoolwide PBIS system reduces learning time for students to master expectations and fosters predictability for students and their families. STOIC (formerly Classroom Behavior Essentials) represent the PBIS practices needed to create a positive classroom climate, but also improve academic engagement, increase the likelihood of appropriate behavior, decrease the likelihood of behavioral errors, and enhance social skills.
