What is PBIS?

PBIS stands for Positive Behavior Intervention and Support. It is a framework or approach for assisting school personnel in adopting and organizing evidence-based behavioral interventions into an integrated continuum that enhances academic and social behavior outcomes for all students. One of the foremost advances in schoolwide discipline is the emphasis on schoolwide systems of support that include proactive strategies for defining, teaching, and supporting appropriate student behavior to create positive school environments. Instead of a piecemeal approach of individual behavioral management plans, a continuum of positive behavior support for all students within a school is implemented in areas including the classroom and non-classroom settings (such as the hallway, cafeteria, and library). Attention is focused on building capacity through a multi-tiered system of support that includes Tier I supports on a school wide level, Tier II supports delivered through small-groups, and Tier III support through individual and wraparound services.

Parent Component 

As part of our PBIS services, we would also like to extend our efforts to our parent community. In collaboration with our Parent Center, we will be offering a set of presentations and trainings to assist our parent community in understanding PBIS, learning about what each school is doing with their PBIS system, and building capacity within our own parenting community.

District Wide PBIS Updates  

The PBIS District Wide Updates are held for parents and community members to be made aware of all the work our schools are completing, implementing, and sustaining with their PBIS system.

Parent Project

Parent Project is a course designed to give parents the tools and strategies necessary to provide positive and effective discipline. It mirrors much of the PBIS foundation and gradually builds on more skilled techniques with the difficulty of the issue at hand.

PBIS At Home

This is a 2-day workshop that will focus on teaching our parent community the foundational elements of PBIS. It will highlight core features that can also be implemented at home. Parents will be able to create a behavioral home matrix and know how to properly use the matrix as an intervention to provide structure and expectations at home.
