2021-2022 OHIO PBIS

Building/ Program Recognition Press Release

The Akron Public Schools Early Learning Program has been recognized for its success with Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS). PBIS involves teaching students expected behaviors in a consistent and positive way, modeling and acknowledging those behaviors and helping all students meet expectations and be successful.
PBIS has been shown to improve student achievement, student behavior and school climate. In 2015, Ohio PBIS Network first recognized schools that were model examples of effective PBIS implementation. The Early Learning Program applied and earned the silver level for the 2021-2022 school year. They are one of 375 award- winning schools to be recognized at any of the levels: Gold (41), Silver (80), or Bronze (238). The Early Learning Program will be honored at the 2022 Ohio PBIS Showcase, which is held annually in conjunction with the Ohio Leadership Advisory Council (OLAC). The virtual conference will take place on December 6, 2022 with the theme being ALL IN: For Ohio’s Schools, Students & Communities. The event is FREE to all who register.
