California PBIS Recognition
2022
The California PBIS Coalition (CPC) is a collaborative organization using evidence-based, culturally relevant practices to build the capacity for all stakeholders in the implementation of PBIS as a multi-tiered system following the National PBIS Blueprints for professional development, implementation, and evaluation.
The purpose of the Coalition is to establish a network for state, country, school district and schools implementing multi-tier frameworks through Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports (PBIS).
California PBIS Recognition System
The CPC initiated the first statewide effort to acknowledge schools for PBIS implementation in 2015. Any pre-school, traditional or alternative school in California is eligible to apply for recognition of their PBIS Tier 1, 2, and 3 PBIS systems. Based on criteria established by the Coalition, schools may earn designations of Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Platinum.
