PBIS tells us we need consistency and clear expectations. RP gives us circles, routines, and language that make those things real.

Both PBIS and RP want the same outcomes. PBIS helps us measure whether it’s working. RP helps us make it work in a way that builds community.

Incorporating circles into academic classrooms brings a range of benefits, including supporting the goals of SEL and PBIS. A circle can take 10 minutes at the beginning or end of class, or the entire class period if it complements the learning material.
