Positive Behavioral Interventions & Support (PBIS)

“Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is an evidence-based three-tiered framework for improving and integrating all the data, systems, and practices affecting student outcomes every day.  It is a way to support everyone to create the kinds of schools where ALL students are successful.

Key Components at Every Tier

Each tier has its own set of systems and practices, but some key components appear across every level. Each of these features needs to be present for EMLSS to be implemented with fidelity.

• Practices are based on evidence to be effective in a similar context with similar populations.
• Practices are organized along a tiered continuum beginning with strong universal supports followed by intensified interventions matched to student needs.
• Data is collected and used to screen, monitor, and assess student progress.
• Resources are allocated to ensure systems and practices are implemented with fidelity over time”
