Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports is a process for creating school environments that are more predictable and effective for achieving academic and social goals. PBiS will enhance our current systems and practices and also change our culture for the better.

The PBiS model is a research-based strategy. The three tiered approach reduces problem behavior as a barrier to student achievement. We only have 180 days each year to advance academic progress, so instructional time is very valuable. Research shows that schools following the PBiS model recover ample hours of instructional time per year.

A key strategy of the PBiS process is prevention. The majority of students follow the school's expectations, but are rarely acknowledged for their positive behavior. Through instruction, modeling, and regular practice all teachers and staff members will use a consistent set of expectations that encourage positive behavior.
