Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is a framework designed to improve student behavior and create a positive school environment. It focuses on teaching and reinforcing appropriate behaviors rather than just punishing negative actions. Schools implement PBIS by establishing clear expectations, providing support, and recognizing positive behavior among students.
The PBIS approach is data-driven, meaning schools regularly collect and analyze information about student behavior to make informed decisions. This helps educators identify areas for improvement and tailor interventions to meet the needs of all students, promoting a safe and supportive learning atmosphere.
