What is PBIS?

Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is a preventative and positive multi-tiered system of support that is embraced by the WESD to foster a safe and positive learning environment.

PBIS includes four main components:

1. Clearly defining and teaching behavioral expectations

2. Consistently acknowledging and rewarding expected behavior

3. Providing clear and consistent interventions when students break expectations

4. Using behavioral data to assess progress and address needs

Sahuaro collects data every month to improve outcomes and interventions for students (i.e., attendance, reading scores). PBIS data is analyzed regularly by staff and the school’s PBIS Committee to determine what behaviors need to be addressed, where those behaviors occur, and when the behaviors take place. With this data, Sahuaro can improve supervision, facilitate school-wide reteaching strategies, and address our specific needs as they arise.
