Please see the list below of various programs, support systems, practices, and interventions that are integrated into the PBIS framework that promote positive school climate and student achievement:
The multi-tiered system of supports (MTSS) is a framework that supports success for all students:
provides early academic and behavioral help rather than waiting for a student to fail;
provides an improved way for school teams to meet the individual needs of your child;
provides instruction at different levels or tiers depending on the needs of each student; and
is available to all students to help them succeed and to increase student achievement.
The goals of the multi-tiered system of supports are to:
improve the quality of instruction;
prevent unnecessary academic and behavioral failure;
provide proven or evidence-based interventions for all students;
prevent unnecessary referral to special education;
prevent, rather than react to, student difficulties;
involve and support parents as partners in the MTSS process; and
to support teachers’ use of effective instructional strategies and practices.
