Center on PBIS | School-Widewww.pbis.org/topics/school-wide
Topic Page: When schools implement PBIS, they start by implementing it school-wide. Three critical features – systems, practices, and data – work together to promote positive, predictable, safe environments for everyone in all school settings.
Because PBIS is not a packaged curriculum or intervention, schools implement the core features of evidence-based practices in a way that fits with the schools’ cultural values.…
Center on PBIS | Tier 2www.pbis.org/pbis/tier-2
Tier 2 practices and systems provide targeted support for students who are not successful with Tier 1 supports alone. The focus is on supporting students who are at risk for developing more serious problem behavior before they start. Essentially, the support at this level is more focused than Tier 1 and less intensive than Tier 3.
Essentially, intervention at this level is more targeted than Tier 1 but less intensive than Tier 3. What Are Tier 2 Supports? The support provided at Tier 2 often involve group interventions with ten or more students participating.…

It is often referred to as the Pyramid Model. This model provides a framework of evidence-based practices to promote the social-emotional competence of all children, address the social-emotional and behavioral needs of children who are at-risk, and develop supports for children with persistent social, emotional or behavioral concerns.

Topic Page: In October 2017, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services declared a public health emergency to address rising overdose deaths related to the opioid crisis. This crisis, and substance misuse in general, impacts students and families of all backgrounds. Schools need adequate services to address student use, student trauma, and family adjustment. PBIS is well-positioned to address these needs through a structured, multi-tiered response with primary prevention, and targeted and intensive intervention supports.

Center on PBIS | Positive, Proactive Approaches to Supporting Children with Disabilitieswww.pbis.org/current/positive-proactive-approaches-to-supporting-children-with-disabilities
In July 2022, the US Department of Education released important new guidance that “helps schools support students with disabilities and avoid discriminatory use of discipline.” PBIS already embeds these recommended practices into its framework as referenced in the new guidance. We believe PBIS provides a strong foundation to implement this guidance and benefit students with disabilities. Educators at the classroom, school, and district levels can use the following Center on PBIS resources to put this guidance into action.

Center on PBIS | Students with Disabilitieswww.pbis.org/topics/students-with-disabilities
Topic Page: Creating safe, supportive learning environments for children and youth with disabilities is a critical responsibility of all school personnel. Within a PBIS framework, educators provide a robust continuum of positive, proactive, and inclusive support for all students, including students with disabilities. This reduces demand for more intensive supports and ensures students in need of the most intensive supports receive them. Research indicates implementing PBIS with fidelity improves social, emotional, and behavioral outcomes of students with disabilities.

Resource: Is Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) an Evidence-Based Practice?www.pbis.org/resource/is-school-wide-positive-behavior-support-an-evidence-based-practice
PDF: Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is a widely implemented framework for promoting positive school systems and fostering students' social, emotional, behavioral, and mental health. Numerous studies indicate that PBIS implementation improves student outcomes, educator practices, and school systems. This brief presents the findings of a systematic literature review exploring how Tier 1 PBIS implementation affects valued educational outcomes. Findings demonstrate that PBIS can be designated an evidence-based practice for reducing exclusionary discipline and improving social, emotional, and behavioral outcomes.

School personnel should only use R/S in extreme situations like when a student exhibits dangerous behaviors towards self or others, when a risk of serious and imminent physical harm or injury is evident. Never use R/S as a planned part of a behavior support plan, as a therapeutic intervention, or as a consequence for behavior.

PDF: After attempting to reach full implementation of healthy and functioning Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 behavioral systems at its elementary schools through years of training and coaching, Springfield Public Schools (SPS) found it necessary to strategically invest district resources in its PBIS efforts by targeting Tier 2 and initial Tier 3 systems (i.e., interventions not served via special education). SPS identified a need for a system’s focused and district-directed role and created a new Behavior Interventionist position in each elementary school to lead and coordinate Tier 2 and initial Tier 3 support systems. Starting with a pilot school in 2018 and expanding to a district-wide position in 2021, the district-directed Behavior Interventionist role transformed the district's ability to meet the social, emotional, and behavioral needs of its students. This brief first illustrates the importance of initial district planning and on-going, iterative implementation of culturally responsive Tier 1 supports as a critical foundation for Tier 2 and 3 supports. Next, the refinement and operationalization of Tier 2 systems as well as a district continuum of supports are shared as a way to contextualize and use data to identify systems needs. Lastly, we illustrate the importance of targeted district support and resource allocation can improve outcomes.
