PBIS at Easton Area
Academy
2010-2011 School Year
What is EAA PRIDE?
Staff Currency
Each staff member
designed his or her own
currency.
Students enjoyed the
original currency and were
excited to earn currency
from different staff
members.
2010 PBIS Kickoff
The 2010 PRIDE
Kickoff included songs,
skits, trivia and lots of
prizes.
Staff members
performed skits
for our own
“Whose PRIDE
is it anyway?”
Students received sweatshirts, t-shirts, and
backpacks for answering PRIDE trivia questions.
PRIDE exchange kickoff
•We opened up our PRIDE Exchange by allowing students to come
to the store for a Blowout Sale.
•While students waited to shop, they were given the opportunity to
talk in small groups with PBIS core team members.
PRIDE EXCHANGE
•The small groups provided students a chance to get more
information about PRIDE.
•The students also completed a survey to tell the staff what kind of
incentives they would like to purchase and their opinions on the
PRIDE program.
HOLIDAY BLOWOUT SALE
•The students saved up their currency in order to shop for
the holidays.
•Most students bought presents for family members and

RANDOM rewards
Discipline data showed that a frequent problem behavior over
the course of the year was students leaving campus without
permission
In order to prevent students from leaving campus without
permission, rewards are randomly provided to students
Students are not aware when the rewards will be given
Rewards: hot chocolate, gum, and other snacks
Student Bank Accounts
Each student has a bank account for his or her
currency.
Students can deposit currency into their accounts
during homeroom and dismissal using a deposit slip.
Students keep their own account register to monitor
their balance. When items are purchased the students
are responsible to update their registers.
Sample Account
PRIDE Exchange
An online system was made to help students use their
currency to shop at the EAA “online store”
The system was created to keep students in class, but
still gives students access to the items in the store.
During designated shopping times, students visit the
“online store” and write down their order on an order slip.
Items are then delivered to the student by a staff
member within 1 school day.
What are your thoughts on the
PRIDE program?
I think it’s good. You get
currency for showing PRIDE
at EAA.
-Breanna (HS)
I think it’s a wonderful way to
show students how to deal
with money and show rewards
for good behavior.
-Esara (HS)
It’s OK, I like the idea
of being able to save
currency to buy stuff.
-Jeremy (HS)
I think it’s cool and fair
because the ones that
are doing right deserve
things like rewards.
-Ciara (HS)
I think that the teachers go over EAA PRIDE Program a little
too much, but sometimes it works.
