PBIS is …

a data-driven decision making framework for establishing the social culture and behavioral supports needed for a school to be an effective learning environment for all students and staff.

Increase Effectiveness and Efficiency

Process for Continuous Improvement

(USDOE OSEP PBIS TA Center, 2010)

This is a framework, not a packaged program. You will look at what you already have in place at your school, what works and uses evidence based practices. You will analyze what needs to be put in place to provide behavioral supports for all your students to create an effective learning environment. This creates effective and efficient practices, remembering that the process is continuously improving.

This increases our effectiveness to be preventative and respond early and our efficiency in the ways we use our resources to support the continuum of social and behavioral needs

TIER III:

Intensive, Individualized

IER II: Supplemental, Targeted

Continuum of Academic & Social Behavior Support

Tier 3 for a Few: Intensive, Individualized

Tier 2 for Some: Targeted for Small Groups

Tier I for All: Core/Universal

Our language and the ways we communicate with our colleagues, families, and other school community members is important. Sometimes we hear folks referencing T II students or T III students. It's important to communicate that the tiers refer to the layer of support and we use person first language. So, it might be a student needing T II support with math computation or a student needing TIII support with comprehension or a student needing TI support with making friends.

Support is always “layered” onto the previous supports. When a small group of students require a little more support, they continue to receive universal/tier 1 core or instruction. Students receiving secondary supports have increased opportunities for more frequent contingent feedback, additional structure, re-teaching of expectations, etc.

Students in need of intensive, individualized support, continue to receive universal supports. Tier III often builds upon the supports that the student receives with Tier II interventions.

All that we do is anchored to tier 1 and this is true for social and academic (e.g., literacy, math) instruction.
