Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is a framework to support schools in adopting and organizing evidence-based positive behavioral interventions and supports. PBIS’s data-driven process provides a foundation for positive, respectful, and equitable schools that results in improved academic and behavioral outcomes for all students.
