PBIS

PBIS is a comprehensive and preventative approach to discipline. The main goal of PBIS is to decrease unwanted student behavior in schools and classrooms and to develop integrated networks that support students and adults at the school, classroom, family, and individual student levels.
 
Under PBIS, serious behavior problems and overall school climate improves because faculty and staff actively teach positive behavior, through modeling expected behavior and rewarding positive behaviors, such as academic achievement, following adult requests, and engaging in safe behavior.
 
The overarching and continuous goal of SWPBIS is to establish a positive school and classroom climate, in which expectations for students are predictable, directly taught, consistently acknowledge and actively monitored. [1]

  • Secondary or Selective Interventions: support catered to students who are at risk, and
  • Tertiary or Indicated Intervention: intensive support focused on students who are the most chronically and intensely at risk of anti-social behavior
