Schools nationwide have adopted the framework of PBIS (Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports) as a way to support kids’ behavior as well as their social-emotional and mental health. We wanted to know how teachers feel about working in a PBIS school, so we asked them.
Over 400 comments later, it became clear that opinions on this system varied drastically.
What is PBIS?
PBIS stands for Positive Behavior Interventions and Support. Our PBIS informational article goes over all the ins and outs, but basically PBIS is an evidence-based framework for schools to use to promote a positive school culture and support students’ behavior and mental health.
Please help put parents in charge of their child’s education by forwarding this article to other parents, family, friends and voters.
