Woodland Receives PBIS Gold and Silver Status Recognitions

Woodland Community Consolidated School District 50 is honored to be recognized for its efforts in Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports by the Midwest PBIS Network, an organization that supports state, local and community agencies working to prevent problem behaviors and promote positive school cultures.

PBIS Gold Status Recognition was bestowed upon Woodland Primary and Woodland Elementary West School while PBIS Silver Status Recognition was awarded to Woodland Elementary East, Woodland Intermediate and Woodland Middle schools. More than 472 Illinois schools participated in the process to be recognized.

Woodland implemented the district-wide behavioral framework in 2010. The main objective of PBIS is to establish the behavioral supports and social culture needed for all students in a school to achieve social, emotional and academic success. Woodland introduced its ROAR program to align with the PBIS framework. ROAR represents Respect, Ownership, Acceptance and being Ready to learn.

To earn Gold Status the schools needed to implement at least two or more levels, known as Tiers, of PBIS with 80 percent success.

"Since the districtwide implementation in 2010, PBIS has become integrated into the culture of our district. We are very proud of each of our schools for their accomplishments in PBIS and the support given to our students each day to make the best possible choices," said Associate Superintendent of Education Lori Casey. "Our students succeed because of the support and leadership from our PBIS teams at each school," she said
