Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS)
PBIS is a framework for preventing problem behavior and supporting the social, emotional, behavioral, and academic needs for all individuals in all learning environments. There is extensive research that states this comprehensive systematic approach demonstrates that a positive, consistent school-wide climate can eliminate many of the discipline problems which occur in schools.
The PBIS framework allows for sharing a wide range of behavior strategies and prevention-based interventions at the universal (school-wide), targeted (classroom or group), and intensive (small group or individual) levels. Decisions made are based on data collected that will identify the needs of the campus or district.
