PBIS stands for Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports and is an organized, data driven system of interventions and strategies that address school-wide and individualized behavior planning by utilizing research and data-based information to maintain up-to-date best practice strategies. Using PBIS assists us in increasing our capacity to understand and effectively respond to problematic behaviors and helps us develop a structure for reducing frequent minor behavior issues by fostering a positive and preventative approach. PBIS positively impacts our school culture through the nurturing of a unified, systemic approach and philosophy for working with children.
