What is PBIS?
• Positive Behavior Intervention Support
• The application of evidence-based
strategies and systems to assist schools
• to increase academic performance
• increase safety
• decrease problem behavior
• and establish positive school cultures
PBIS Big Ideas
• Positive Behavior Support is a process
for teaching children appropriate
behavior and providing the supports
necessary to sustain that behavior.
• PBIS is not a curriculum - it is a
framework for systems to identify
needs, develop strategies, and
evaluate practice toward success
