PBIS
Positive Behavior Intervention and Support Positive Behavior Intervention and Support, and Character Education are programs aimed at improving school climate and creating systems that support academic and social success for all students. Coaches are assigned to schools to provide professional development and technical support, and to assist with data analysis, problem solving and planning.
The coaching model is focused on building capacity at the school level and assisting schools to create sustainable practices. Each school designates a team of representative staff that takes the lead in learning and supporting the implementation of new practices.
The purpose of Positive Behavior Intervention and Support is to provide assistance to schools to create positive school climates and develop more effective strategies for working with challenging behavior. This is achieved through school-wide behavior support planning, professional development on best behavioral practices, supporting teachers to master strategies, and developing systems of intervention for small groups of students and for specific students. Each school participating in the initiative develops specific goals, identifies data sources to measure progress, and creates an action plan to meet goals.
PBIS is a nationally recognized research-based best practice designated by the Office of Special Education Programs as one of the “Ideas that Work.” Schools that implement PBIS with fidelity over time demonstrate the following outcomes:
