What is PBIS?

• Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports
  (PBIS) is a proactive systems approach for
  creating and maintaining safe and effective
  learning environments in schools, and ensuring
  that all students have the social/emotional
  skills needed to ensure their success at school
  and beyond.

Goals

• Increase consistent use of positive teaching
  and reinforcement strategies among all school
  staff at school-wide, classroom and individual
  student levels.
• Reduce use of reactive discipline measures in
  schools (office discipline referrals, detentions,
  suspensions, and/or expulsions) for all students.

4
More Goals

• Increase data-based decision-making about
  behavior and academic instruction and
  reinforcement across all school settings.
• Implement effective comprehension
  support/services/interventions for students with
  the most intensive behavioral/emotional needs
  through wraparound plans that address home,
  school, and community settings.
