Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports (PBIS)

Training and support on a systemic implementation of a decision-making framework for positive social culture in a school or district. 

Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is a decision-making framework that guides selection, integration and implementation of the best evidence-based behavioral practices for improving important behavior outcomes for all students. PBIS is not a curriculum, intervention or practice, but instead is a collaboration between district and school staff in designing behavioral support systems at each tier of an RtI2 system.
