80% of teachers report handling student behavior issues at least a few times a week.

Many schools turn to PBIS to help, yet it often falls short of the change they hope for. The problem usually isn't PBIS itself. It's treating it as a rewards system, when lasting change takes much more.

Dr. Amy Grosso outlines what actually moves PBIS from a short-term initiative to real cultural change.

Most school staff know they’re mandated reporters, but do they know when to actually submit a report?

Many people worry about what happens if they report something that doesn’t end up being a real problem. Or they think that reporting a concern requires them to investigate.

But mandated reporting does not require the reporter to do any investigation—simply report their observation. School staff do not need proof that abuse or neglect has occurred before making a report.

The threshold for reporting is reasonable suspicion. Once that threshold is met, the responsibility is to report the concern—not to confirm details, confront anyone involved, or decide whether the situation is serious enough.

Clear training and accessible procedures can help school staff understand their responsibilities and act with confidence when student safety concerns arise.
