PBIS

What is PBIS?

Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is an evidence-based, tiered framework for supporting students’ behavioral, academic, social, emotional, and mental health. When implemented with fidelity, PBIS improves social emotional competence, academic success, and school climate. It also improves teacher health and wellbeing. It is a way to create positive, predictable, equitable and safe learning environments where everyone thrives.

Our Mission

The mission of the Tier 1 PBIS team at Steelton-Highspire Elementary is to create a positive learning environment in which students can grow academically, socially, and emotionally.  By combining PBIS with Restorative Practices (RP), we strive to create a systems approach that provides all staff with the tools to build, evaluate and create positive behavioral outcomes with fidelity.
