PBIS is a decision-making framework that guides selection, integration, and implementation of the best evidence-based academic and behavioral practices for improving academic and behavioral outcomes for all children. It is a three-tiered model which follows the public health approach to prevention by providing more intensive supports for children not responding adequately to a universal system of support. PBIS provides systems for schools to design, implement, and evaluate effective school wide, classroom, non-classroom, and children-specific discipline plans. There are more than 10,000 schools in at least 44 states across the U.S. implementing universal school wide PBIS.
