Pbis what is it

School staff members regularly recognize and praise students for good behavior. They may also use small rewards, like tokens or prizes, to recognize when students meet the expectations.

Tier 2 provides an extra layer of support for students who continue to struggle with behavior. The school gives those students evidence-based interventions and instruction.

Tier 3 is the most intensive level. Students with IEPs or plans can be in any of the tiers. In a school that uses traditional discipline, teachers may try to correct behavior through punishment.

During a class discussion, a student sitting in the back throws a spitball. The student then returns to class and is expected to behave. A school using PBIS handles this differently. The effectiveness of the instruction is continuously monitored to support student progress. MTSS is designed to provide early intervention to students to prevent academic failure and to encourage timely progression to graduation. Each school has a PBIS Leadership Team made up of the school counselor, school psychologist and certified and classified teaching staff.
