Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS)
PBIS is a fundamental support program with a purpose of encouraging positive behavior in schools to promote success in the classroom environment. PBIS is a collective system implemented by instructional staff, non-instructional staff, and administration, that encourages a culture of positive behavior. The premise of the program’s effectiveness is heavily influenced by clearly stated expectations of what positive behavior looks like within the school day. This encompasses both school-wide and individualized classroom expectations.
Traditional Program
Atlantis Academy Coral Springs provides a comprehensive education program for students in grades K through 12 and above (to age 22) tailored to meet the individual learning needs of each student. Students participate in a comprehensive assessment and monitoring plan designed to identify the appropriate levels of instruction and intervention needed to ensure progress and promote increased skill acquisition. Each student follows a personalized academic program that aligns with state standards. The instructional program provides the supports students need to progress academically, socially and emotionally. Students are provided instruction in all required courses to earn a high school diploma.
Foundations Program
The Foundations Program helps students prepare for traditional high school academics and/or transition into the workforce. Students are assigned to the program according to their individual learning needs, including academic, developmental and social functioning. The Foundations Program emphasizes functional communication, building independence and developing pro-social behaviors. Teachers incorporate individualized lessons, differentiated instruction, group collaboration, hands-on activities and real-life learning experiences to enhance the students’ experience and ensure progress.
