Relevance of PBS Today

• We know more than we do.

• We need to focus on doing what works.

• Funding limitations force careful allocation of resources.

• Large scale use of PBS will mean finding ways to achieve the core features in different ways for different contexts. Different paths to a common goal

What is School-wide Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports?

• School-wide PBIS is: A systems framework for establishing the social

culture and behavioral supports needed for a school to be an effective learning environment for all students.

• Evidence-based features of SW-PBIS Prevention Define and teach positive social expectations Acknowledge positive behavior Arrange consistent consequences for problem

behavior On-going collection and use of data for decision-

making Continuum of intensive, individual intervention

practices
