What is PBIS?
PBIS is a framework for organizing prevention and intervention efforts that promote effective behavior at school. PBIS includes the following components:
- All students are taught school-wide expectations and rules
- All students are acknowledged for following these expectations
- All staff respond to behavioral challenges with care and consistency
- Staff regularly reflect on school-wide data to adjust practices
- All staff know how to ask for help when additional support is needed for a student
PBIS is supported by dozens of high quality research studies, and has been implemented in tens of thousands of schools worldwide. PBIS fosters a safe, positive, and trauma-informed school climate.

Each school has a PBIS team that builds a custom system to fit the unique needs of their staff and students. Schools remain prepared to offer individualized support to students with specific needs.
