Administrators will receive an overview for creating efficient and effective campus behavioral systems utilizing an evidence-based MTSS known as nationally and internationally as Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS). Understand the myths and misunderstandings of this three-tiered framework. Explore the benefits of implementation and why it's recommended by both the US Secret Service as a school violence prevention model and the US Department of Education to improve school climate and discipline.
PBIS, when implemented well, improves students' academic and social outcomes, especially for those most at-risk. The PBIS framework is designed to hold the many necessary programming needs related to positive outcomes for students including mental health, social-emotional learning (SEL), equity, and other student centered approaches. It is not another program, rather PBIS is how we more effectively organize our programs into one sustainable behavior system.
Many campuses think they are doing PBIS, but are they really? Learn the ten critical elements of Tier 1 and what these look like on campus; the highlights and critical requirements of Tiers 2 and 3; and the fidelity assessment tools for all tiers every campus should be using to assess their systems, progress monitor, and action plan with each year.
