Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is a framework or approach for assisting school personnel in adopting and organizing evidence-based behavioral interventions into an integrated continuum that enhances academic and social behavior outcomes for all students. PBIS IS NOT a packaged curriculum, scripted intervention, or manualized strategy.
PBIS IS a prevention-oriented way for school personnel to (a) organize evidence-based practices, (b) improve their implementation of those practices, and (c) maximize academic and social behavior outcomes for students.
PBIS supports the success of ALL students.
PBIS is a positive, proactive, school-wide approach to helping students learn how to manage their behavior so that they can be socially, emotionally, and academically successful. The DBS expected behaviors – to be Caring, Safe, and Responsible – are taught and reinforced to all students through classroom lessons, school-wide activities, and frequent positive reinforcement through our Universal PBIS program.
Within the PBIS program at Dothan Brook School there is a Universal program to support all students, a Targeted program for those kids who need extra support, and an Intensive program for those who need even more support to be successful in school and life.
