Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS)

Systems

Systems are how things are done in a school. Systems support the work of the adults in the building and are needed to enable the accurate and durable implementation of the practices of PBIS. Systems are needed to support the collective use of best practices by individuals within the organization. The PBIS process emphasizes the creation of systems that support the adoption and durable implementation of evidence-based practices and procedures, and fit within on-going school reform efforts.

Examples of Systems within PBIS include:

• Professional development to ensure fluency
• Team-based action planning
• Regular, relevant reinforcers for staff behavior
• Integration of initiatives
• Continuous evaluation
