NE WI Consortium for Positive Behavior Intervention Support (PBIS)
What is PBIS or PBS?
A broad range of proactive, systemic, and individualized strategies
for achieving important social and learning outcomes in safe and effective environments
while preventing problem behavior with all students (Sugai, 2007)
Four Challenges Facing Schools Today:
- Doing more with less.
- Educating increasing numbers of students who are more different than similar from each other.
- Educating students with challenging behaviors.
- Creating “host environments” or systems that enable adoption & sustained use of effective practices.

Critical Elements of PBIS are:
- Careful acknowledgement, consideration and achievement of outcomes (i.e., academic achievement, social competence, career/work opportunities) that are valued by significant stakeholders (i.e., students, family members, teachers, employers).
- Adoption and sustained use of research-validated practices and curricula that maximize achievement of student and teacher outcomes.
- Application of data-based decision-making at many levels (i.e., individual, classroom, school), with multiple individuals (i.e., student, teacher, administrator, support staff), across contexts (i.e., general vs. special education, school vs. home), and with multiple outcomes (i.e., reading, grades, attendance, discipline referrals).
- Development of systems (i.e., processes, routines, working structures, administrative supports) that are needed to ensure consideration of valued outcomes; research validated practices, and data-based decision-making.
