Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS)
Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is an evidence-based, three-tiered framework to improve and integrate all of the data, systems, and practices affecting student outcomes every day. PBIS creates schools where all students succeed.
PBIS is a framework for creating safe, positive, equitable schools, where every student can feel valued, connected to school community and supported by caring adults. PBIS provides an integrated system to support the behavioral needs of students, uses assessment data to drive differentiated instruction and interventions, and assists with identifying students needing additional support. The PBIS muliti-tiered framework provides a continuum of supports accross three tiers: 1) Universal or Tier 1 practices and systems establish a foundation of regular, proactive and preventative behavior strategies, 2)Targeted or Tier 2 practices and systems support students who are at risk for developing more serious problem behaviors, and 3) Intensive or Tier 3 offers students more intensive, individualized support.
