Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS)

Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is an evidence-based three-tiered framework to improve and integrate all of the data, systems, and practices affecting student outcomes every day.

  1. Tier 1: Tier 1 systems, data, and practices impact everyone across all settings, delivering regular, proactive support and preventing unwanted behaviors.
  2. Tier 2: Tier 2 practices and systems provide targeted support for students at risk for developing more serious problem behavior who are not successful with Tier 1 supports.
  3. Tier 3: At Tier 3, students receive more intensive, individualized support to improve their behavioral and academic outcomes. At most schools, there are 1-5% of students who require Tier 3 supports.

If you’re like me, and particularly if your professional life revolves around schooling in any form or capacity, you look forward to summertime each year. You do this with the undying hope it brings a break from at least some traditional duties, a more relaxed pace, and time to catch up on some professional and personal tasks you just didn’t have time for during the school year but promised to catch up on once summer arrived and things slowed down. And, if you’re like me, you probably cringed or even laughed out loud before you finished reading the previous sentence.
