What is PBIS Rewards?

PBIS Rewards is a digital PBIS management solution that assists schools in teaching appropriate behavior. Most PBIS programs use paper tokens as a way to keep track of student points. However, paper tokens are difficult for students to keep track of and can be a burden for teachers, as well. PBIS Rewards digitizes your token economy and helps make it easy to recognize students for acting responsibly. Go paperless with your PBIS initiative!

PBIS Rewards also makes the reward/track/redeem process easy to administrate. What’s more, PBIS Rewards provides a wealth of data to help demonstrate the effectiveness of the schoolwide PBIS framework.

With PBIS Rewards, it is fast and simple to recognize a student for complying with the basic rules of conduct. It takes the concept of “Observe and Praise Appropriate Behavioral Actions” and extends it by making it easy to award points to students for positive behaviors. Students can then redeem their accumulated points in the school store for tangible and intangible rewards. Think of it as a student debit card for their PBIS points.

PBIS Can Be Used at Any Grade Level

A common misconception about PBIS is that it’s only for elementary schools. While implementing PBIS during students’ formative years is often the most effective way to develop lifelong positive behaviors, PBIS can work for all grades. No matter what grade level – preschool, elementary, middle, or high school – PBIS Rewards can help schools to use their PBIS framework more effectively.

BIS Rewards operates much like a debit card system: students earn points for good behavior and then cash in those points for privileges and items. Everything is done electronically, just like a debit card. Just as we learn in the adult world that being responsible in our job is how we earn our paycheck, PBIS Rewards helps students learn that positive behavior earns rewards, establishing a lifetime habit of responsible behavior.

How PBIS Rewards Works

PBIS Rewards is a complete system that utilizes the technology you already have in place: computers and smartphones.

If your school is already using student ID badges with barcodes or QR codes, it’s easy to use PBIS Rewards to award points. Simply scan the code with a smartphone to award points. Your staff can award points this way no matter where they are – at recess, in the cafeteria, on a field trip, or even just walking down the hallway.
