Positive Behavioral Interventions
What is PBIS?
PBIS directly dismantles barriers and creates a consistent, safe, and positive school climate. PBIS is a framework that provides support to students, families, and educators. The framework helps students by focusing on their strengths and building on their confidence to succeed. PBIS is a research-based system that utilizes a positive approach to discipline, which leads to a reduction in office referrals, in-school suspensions, and out-of-school suspensions that decrease instructional time for students.

What Is The Purpose of PBIS
PBIS is a framework that guides school teams in the selection, integration, and implementation of evidence-based practices for improving academic, social, and behavioral outcomes for all students.
The PBIS process emphasizes four integrated elements: data for decision-making, evidence-based interventions and practices that support varying student needs (multi-tiered), systems that efficiently and effectively support the implementation of these practices, and continual progress monitoring to ensure outcomes are met.
PBIS is not a curriculum or a one-day training. PBIS is a systems change process that requires ongoing commitment in order to create effective systems for teaching and addressing behavior and social-emotional skills.
Who Needs To Be Involved
Everyone! PBIS is a framework that requires a broad consensus and commitment from staff, administration, students, and parents. PBIS is about making positive changes to the culture and climate of a school and requires involvement at all levels.
