PBS: Positive Behavior Support
Have you ever given any kind of reward to your students for an accomplished task? What about giving them a prize for a positive attitude they had?

| Behave well and get the Prize |
But that's the idea behind this approach called "Positive Behavior Support". Instead of spend your time figuring out how to punish inappropriate behaviors, you come up with a kind of gift for those who succeed on following the rules.
Although the idea was quite familiar, I hadn't heard about PBS before attending to the UO-English Language Certificate Program.

In some cases the approach focused really on behavioral aspects, like an 'anti-bullying' strategy, but it also can be used to enhance desirable cognitive aspects.
You can learn more about PBS on this extract of a lecture we could attend to as part of the UO program. Check it out:
