What is Positive Behavior Intervention Support (PBIS)?

School-wide Positive Behavioral Interventions and Support is a proactive, team-based framework for creating and sustaining safe and effective schools. PBIS is not a single curriculum or scripted response to student behavior. Rather, it is a way of thinking about and organizing research-based practices and their application to student needs. With PBIS, behavior is a learning experience, just as it is with other subjects like math or science. 

 

PBIS has several important principles:

 

  • Every child can learn proper behavior.

  • Stepping in early can prevent more serious behavior problems.

  • Each child is different and schools need to provide many kinds of behavior support.

  • How schools teach behavior should be based on research and science.

  • Following a child’s behavioral progress is important.

  • Schools must gather and use data to make decisions about behavior problems.
