What is PBIS

“PB[I]S is an approach [to behavior management] that emphasizes teaching as a central behavior change tool and focuses on replacing coercion with environmental redesign to achieve durable and meaningful change in the behavior of students.  As such, attention is focused on adjusting adult behavior (e.g., routines, responses, instructional routines) and improving learning environments” (Sugai et al., 2000).
