Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports (PBIS) is a framework used to organize a broad range of systemic and individualized strategies for achieving important social and learning outcomes in school communities while preventing problem behavior. The key attributes of PBIS include preventive activities, data-based decision making, and a problem solving orientation (Horner, 2000; Lewis & Sugai, 1999; Sugai et.al., 2000; Weigle, 1997).
PBIS in early childhood settings is a tiered framework of prevention strategies and evidence- based interventions for promoting the social, emotional, and behavioral development of ALL young children. To learn more about Early Childhood PBIS, visit
