What is PBIS?
Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is a system approach for establishing a safe and supportive learning environment to promote social, behavioral, and academic success for all students. PBIS strategies are consistently utilized and work in conjunction with Social-Emotional Learning. PBIS is a framework for developing a common vision, language and practices used consistently across the school to:
-
improve school climate;
-
strengthen relationships;
-
teach and reinforce expectations;
-
increase positive behaviors, academic achievement and equitable learning experiences; and
-
decrease office referrals and suspensions.
Mental and behavioral health and wellness efforts are also supported across all three tiers of instruction to promote academic and social success for students. Targeted and intensive interventions are provided to support the learning needs of students.
