Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS)

  • PBIS is a proactive approach schools use to improve school safety and promote positive behavior.  The focus of PBIS is prevention, not punishment.

  • It calls on schools to TEACH positive behavior strategies, just as they would teach any other subject - like reading or math.  In schools that use PBIS, all students learn about positive behavior.  This includes kids with IEPs and 504 plans.

  • PBIS recognizes that students can only meet behavior expectations if they know what the expectations are.  Everyone learns what’s considered appropriate behavior.  School personnel use a common language to talk about it throughout the day in all settings, including at lunch and on the bus.
