Positive Behavior Intervention & Supports (P.B.I.S.)

 P.B.I.S

Positive Behavioral Intercessions and Supports (PBIS) is an evidence-based, tiered system for supporting students’ behavioral, academic, social, emotional, and mental health. When executed with constancy, PBIS improves social passionate competence, academic success, and school climate.

Schools implementing PBIS:

• Use a continuum of evidence-based practices to support student needs
• Engage students, families, and community members to co-create culturally responsive practices

• Regularly check the effectiveness of their practices
• Rely on teams to guide implementation
• Use data to identify strengths, uncover needs, and monitor student progress
• Implement universal screening
• Develop content expertise through coaching and ongoing professional development

TIER 1 - Universal, Primary Prevention (All)

Tier 1 systems, data, and practices support everyone – students, educators, and staff – across all school settings. They establish a foundation for positive and proactive support. 

TIER 2 - Targeted, Secondary Prevention (Some)

In addition to your Tier 1 foundation, students receiving Tier 2 supports get an added layer of systems, data, and practices targeting their specific needs. 

TIER 3 - Intensive and Individualized, Tertiary Prevention (Few)

In most schools and programs, there are a small number (1-5%) of students for whom Tier 1 and Tier 2 support has not been sufficient to experience success.

Worley Middle supports our students with incentives for good behavior and academics by permitting them to earn our "Spartans Bucks", which they utilize to purchase items sold within the P.B.I.S. Store.
