What is PBIS?
PBIS is an acronym for Positive Behavior Interventions and Support. It creates a multi-tiered system of supports.
It is a school-wide integration of:
- A systems approach for building capacity: everyone works together.
- A process for capacity building: we use the process to achieve an outcome.
- A continuum of behavior supports: appropriate supports for all students.
- Prevention focused efforts: it is more effective to prevent than to remediate.
- Instructionally focused: the best prevention is good instruction.
- Empirically sound practices: we use what has been shown to work.
- Assessment information analyzed and used on a frequent basis.
