PBIS at Stevens

Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is a proactive approach used across different contexts such as schools, workplaces, and communities. Its primary goal is to encourage positive behavior and create supportive surroundings. PBIS involves several key components, including defining clear behavioral expectations, teaching essential behavioral skills, implementing acknowledgment systems, using behavioral contracts, adapting the environment, conducting functional behavioral assessments, and integrating social-emotional learning programs. Organizations employ these strategies to cultivate a positive environment and enhance overall well-being.
