MIFFLIN TOWNSHIP — Mifflin Elementary School 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 strong PBIS. In 2021, Mifflin Elementary School applied and earned the Bronze level. They are one of 354 award-winning schools to be recognized at any of the levels Gold (34), Silver (70), or Bronze (233).
Mifflin Elementary School will be honored at the 2021 Ohio PBIS Showcase in conjunction with the Ohio Leadership Advisory Council (OLAC) virtual conference on Dec. 9, 2021. The theme for the conference is Responsive, Reimagined and Resilient Leadership. The event is FREE to all who register.
