What is PBIS?
Ohio schools and districts are responsible for creating a positive school environment where each student can thrive and reach their potential. Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is a framework that guides school teams in the selection, integration, and implementation of evidence-based practices for improving academic, social, and behavior outcomes for all students. PBIS is a research-based system, that employs a positive approach to discipline. When implemented with fidelity, PBIS can reduce office referrals, in-school suspensions, and out-of-school suspensions, thereby increasing instructional time for students. The PBIS framework provides support to students, families, and educators by using a proactive approach to teach all students the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to be competitive and successful wherever their path takes them.
