What is PBIS?
Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports is an evidence-based three-tiered framework to improve and integrate data, systems, and practices affecting students.
Tier 1: This tier focuses on proactive support and preventing unwanted behaviors. Tier 1 emphasizes modeling, teaching and acknowledging positive social, emotional and behavioral skills.
Tier 2: this tier will focus on practices and systems to support students who are at risk for developing serious problematic behaviors before they start. Tier 2 will focus on social skills groups, self-management and academic supports to target the potential behaviors and provide interventions.
Tier 3: Students receive intensive and individual support to improve their behavioral and academic outcomes. Formal assessments may be needed at this level to assess student needs and interventions
