Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports
Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports
Catherine Bradshaw describes a schoolwide framework for reducing problem behavior using positive behavior support.
Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS), created by Rob Horner and George Sugai, is a schoolwide application of behavioral systems and interventions to achieve behavior change in schools. PBIS has a strong foundation in behavior analysis and is a noncurricular framework that strives for a flexible fit with a school's culture and context. It can be implemented in any school level, type, or setting. A three-tiered, systemwide framework is applied that guides the development and implementation of a continuum of behavioral and academic programs and services:
- Universal (Tier 1, schoolwide “green-zone”);
- Selective (Tier 2, “yellow-zone”); and
- Indicated (Tier 3, “red-zone”) (see Figure 21.1).
