Mann Positive Behavior Support (PBS) is a method of teaching and improving behavior. PBS focuses on prevention of inappropriate behavior rather than consequences. PBS clearly identifies systems, practices and data to improve student behavioral outcomes. It includes a broad range of systemic and individualized strategies for achieving important social and learning outcomes while preventing problem behavior with all students.

The matrix (see link below) outlines our expectations of the “MANN 5” so that staff can keep a consistent language across the building for behavioral expectations.

Behavioral expectations include; be safe, be kind, be positive, be responsible, and be respectful in the classroom, hallway, and cafeteria. Mann also uses consistent language for voice level expectations (also included--see link below).

Students receive “Lancer Cards” for modeling exemplary behavior according to the “Mann 5”. Lancer Cards can be used weekly at the “Lancer Card Store”, in the weekly raffle, or to play the game “Rock Band” on the Wii during lunch.
