DC/PBIS Connection

Today I had the pleasure of presenting at NYSCATE's Riding the Digital Wave 2011 Conference on the Digital Citizenship/Positive Behavior Interventions & Supports connection.  My district has a long-running, successful PBIS program (The Viking Values) and we are in the process of adding the digital environment as a "location" in which respectful, responsible & safe behavior is expected.

Here's a short and sweet list of ways Grand Island CSD is connecting the two but the full presentations in included as well.  Enjoy!

  • Digital Citizenship as a part of CDEP (Comprehensive District Education Plan) via Character Education
  • Adding Digital Environment as a column on building PBIS matrices
  • Character Trait connections - finding digital environment examples of character traits
  • Technology Curriculum/Digital Citizenship Skill Graph aligned to Viking Values
