PBIS

What is PBIS?

Positive Behavior Intervention Supports

• PBIS is a process for creating safer and more effective schools.
• It is a systems approach to enhancing the school climate.
• The process focuses on improving a school's ability to teach and support positive behavior for all students.
• Each school has a PBIS team to design, implement, and evaluate effective school-wide practices that will teach and recognize positive behaviors while further supporting those students who exhibit undesirable behaviors.
• PBIS involves ALL students, ALL staff in ALL settings!  It is not a curriculum or a program.
