PBIS is a systems approach that has been proven to be effective in preventing and responding to school and classroom discipline problems. PBIS develops school-wide systems that support staff to promote social and emotional well-being for all students. PBIS schools implement systems that are proactive, not reactive, based on prevention rather than intervention, and positive not punitive. This evidence-based, data-driven framework reduces referrals and suspensions, increases safety of schools and supports improved academic outcomes.
Core elements of PBIS include:
- School-wide discipline practices and procedures
- Team-based planning and problem-solving
- Use of building-based discipline and academic data to make decisions
- Comprehensive intervention plans for individual students with intensive needs
- Instructional approach to classroom management and behaviorally-based interventions
- Functional assessment-based behavior support planning
- Active participation of families, students and teachers
- Integration with mental health and other community supports
