What is PBIS?
- Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) developed as a multi-tiered framework to teach positive social and cognitive behaviors.
- PBIS provides strategies for students to engage in the classroom by setting behavioral expectations, positive rewards, and clear consequences.
- These practices are supported by the physical school environment, effective classroom routines, and behavioral expectations.
- When implemented correctly, PBIS promotes a more positive school climate, safer learning environments, and more trusting and respectful student-teacher relationships.
