What Are Positive Behavioral Support Strategies?

Positive Behavioral Support (PBS) strategies encompass a range of evidence and research-based practices designed to foster academic and social success for all students. These schoolwide approaches aim to drive systemic change, enhance social skills, and reduce reliance on punitive measures such as punishment or suspension. PBS strategies contribute to a comprehensive framework for improving school climate, discipline, and overall achievement. By promoting a proactive and structured environment both schoolwide and in individual classrooms, PBS helps to boost student achievement and improve behaviors inside and outside the classroom. Continuous data-based progress monitoring at the school, classroom, and individual student levels ensures that adjustments and enhancements to PBS strategies are maximized. Consequently, this leads to the development of more reflective, effective, efficient, relevant, and sustainable positive learning communities, while also strengthening the capacity of staff, students, and families to support both student behavior and academic success.
