Culture and Climate

PBIS (Positive Behavior Interventions & Supports) is a common approach to discipline that promotes positive behaviors in students. PBIS is now referenced as Culture and Climate because we strive to make TL Reed a place where students are supported both academically, behaviorally, and emotionally. 

— It is a systems approach that includes different intensities of supports for those students who need it.

— The goal is to create an environment for students to be both socially and academically successful.

— Refers to a systems change process for the entire school. The underlying theme is teaching behavioral expectations in the same manner as any core curriculum subject. 

T.L. Reed was recognized by the Fresno County Office of Education as a "Model School" and were the winners of the Gold Level status award many years in a row.
