Positive Behavior Intervention Support (PBIS) is a collaborative (team-based), educative, proactive and functional process to developing effective interventions for problem behavior.
The positive refers to a change of focus from reactive, constantly pointing out what students did wrong (negatives), to proactive teaching and recognizing what children are doing right (positives).
PBIS views appropriate consequences as those that are effective in changing the student’s inappropriate behavior.
PBIS acknowledges and rewards students for following school-wide expectations and rules. The rewards are earned for following the expectations.
