POSITIVE BEHAVIOR INTERVENTIONS & SUPPORTS (PBIS)

Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports is a broad framework of systemic and individualized strategies for achieving important social and learning outcomes in school communities while preventing problem behavior. The key attributes of PBIS include preventive activities, data-based decision making, and a problem solving orientation (Horner, 2000; Lewis & Sugai, 1999; Sugai et.al., 2000; Weigle, 1997).
