Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports

Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports (PBIS) is a multi-tiered framework for establishing systems of social-emotional and behavioral support that enhance schools’ capacity to maximize outcomes for all students. The tiered system allows for the provision of a continuum of school-wide, targeted and individual interventions supports related to the social-emotional, behavioral and academic needs of all students.

PBIS at MPUSD

The implementation of PBIS has been instrumental in successfully significantly reducing the amount of out of school suspensions while improving the culture and climate of the schools at MPUSD. It has demonstrated to have made a positive impact on behavioral, social-emotional and academic outcomes of students.
