What is PBIS?
PBIS (Positive Behavioral
Interventions and Supports) is a process for creating safer and more
effective schools. PBIS is a systems approach to enhancing the
capacity of schools to educate all children by developing
research-based, school wide, and classroom discipline systems. The
process focuses on improving a school’s ability to teach and support
positive behavior for all students. Rather than a prescribed
program, PBIS provides systems for schools to design, implement, and
evaluate effective school-wide, classroom, non-classroom, and
student specific discipline plans. PBIS includes school-wide
procedures and processes intended for:
· ALL
students,
ALL
staff and in
ALL
settings
· Non-classroom
settings within the school environment
· Individual
classrooms and teachers, and
· Individual
student supports for the estimated 3-7% of students who present the
most challenging behaviors.
PBIS
IS
NOT a program or a
curriculum.
IT IS
a team-based process for systemic problem solving, planning, and
evaluation. It is an approach to creating an environment within
which school-based teams of educators are trained:
· Systems
change
· Effective
behavior management principles and practices; and
· Applications
of research-validated instruction and management practices.
