Is behavior support in After-School Programs different from what you would set up for schools during the school day? Nope! It’s really the same. The components of a calm, consistent environment is really the same no matter where you are! #afterschool #restorativepbis #pbis #restorativepractices

Whether school, church or after school programming, any time you are working with groups of kids the same rules apply. If you want a safe, positive atmosphere then you need to do these 4 things: 1. Build relationships 2) Establish and Teach clear, consistent expectations 3) Use a positive reinforcement system like positive tickets and then 4) use restorative responses to challenging behavior. Ask the Restorative Questions to resolve conflict among kids - it’s all the same! #restorativepbis #restorativepractices #pbis #principal #principalsofinstagram

Another work trip - this time Boston! Because it’s his favorite city I brought Feike along. Arriving a couple days early we did some sightseeing and ate at the most delicious restaurants (Irish pubs, Italian, chocolate chip cookies and all this American)! The upside to work travel is seeing so many beautiful places! And the food. #businesstravel #principalsofinstagram

Have you ever heard someone say, “PBIS doesn’t work”? The truth is, they’re right—at least, not for every student. But that’s not a failure of PBIS; that’s exactly how it’s designed to work. In this video, we break down why Tier 1 supports—like clear expectations, positive reinforcement, and consistent responses to behavior—are essential but won’t be enough for every student. That’s where Tier 2 and Tier 3 interventions come in. We’ll explain: ✅ Why Tier 1 is just the foundation – and why strengthening it is the first step before adding more interventions. ✅ How the PBIS/MTSS pyramid works – with universal, targeted, and intensive supports. ✅ Practical steps for schools – to build effective Tier 2 & 3 interventions without getting overwhelmed. ✅ Why focusing only on the most challenging students is a mistake – and how a proactive plan can make all the difference. If you’re ready to stop reacting and start planning, this video will help you build a stronger PBIS system that actually works for all students. Watch now and let’s create a calmer, more consistent school environment together! 🔔 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and comment below! What challenges have you faced in PBIS implementation?

It’s is a trend in school districts that work with me: creating a buffer before making the decision to suspend. At least 3 School districts have a person to CALL 📞 when considering suspension. Now they can 1. Run the situation by a trusted person 2. Get alternative ideas for restoration and interventions that will ACTUALLY WORK and 3. Get the encouragement you need to keep going on your Restorative PBIS journey! #youcandothis #restorativepbis #pbis #restorativepractices

This is a hard story for some to hear. Those of you who have worked with challenging behaviors and have been in situations like this know how hard it can be. We wish we had a magic wand and could just “get kids to behave” or “get all the kids to be nice to each other.” When students act out in a classroom there is a real impact on the other students and it can cause so much frustration and anger that the child gets rejected by their peers. The very child who probably needs the most love and acceptance acts in a way that makes it hard for them to get it. So often we don’t allow children to communicate that impact to each other because we worry that it will be hurtful and shaming. But what if we taught children respectful ways to speak about how they feel to each other? Instead of aggression or retribution, isolation and anger - what if instead we helped them express what they need from each other and help them move forward? #restorativepractices #restorativepbis
