Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is a proactive approach to establishing the behavioral supports and social culture and needed for all students in a school to achieve social, emotional and academic success.

Admittedly, PBIS can feel foreign to those familiar with traditional punitive discipline systems. But adopting a PBIS framework schoolwide can have incredible benefits:

• Improves school culture
• Builds social skills
• Reduces office discipline referrals
• Reduces suspensions
• Increases instructional time
• Improves social and emotional development
• Improves school safety
• Increases student engagement
• Improves academic performance
• Increases family involvement
• Improves faculty retention
• Improves classroom management

Adoption of a PBIS framework has the potential to create radical change in the climate of a struggling school. For educators who are seeking to reach and teach every student in their charge, PBIS makes it possible.
