Positive Behavior Support

Positive Behavior Supports (PBS) is intended to design systemic behavior support systems which will allow students to focus on instruction and be successful in school. "...[PBS] can be described as a data-driven, team-based framework or approach for establishing a continuum of effective behavioral practices and systems that (a) prevents the development or worsening of problem behavior and (b) encourages the teaching and reinforcement of prosocial expectations and behavior across all environments for all students by all staff (Sugai, Simonsen, & Horner, 2008)."

Oregon's PBS Initiative

Goal: Oregon’s PBS Initiative is intended to provide skills and knowledge districts need to build systemic, accurate, and sustainable behavior support for all students.
