What is PBS?
Positive Behavior Support (PBS) is a school-wide behavior model that is proactive, educative, and
reinforcement based.
· Proactive: PBS prevents
inappropriate behaviors by
developing consistent
procedures.
· Educative: The PBS model
teaches students appropriate
behaviors through continuous modeling and practice of expectations.
· Reinforcement-Based:
Students are consistently
rewarded for demonstrating
appropriate behaviors.
PBS significantly reduces problem
behaviors in the school, resulting in
a positive school culture.
