PBIS is a framework for creating and sustaining effective school-wide behavior system. Shifting the focus to prevention minimizes behavioral problems and increases academic time for students. When this type of system is fully in place:
 

• Staff are more consistent in their expectations and actions.

• Students and staff are positively recognized for demonstrating expectations.

• Families and the community know these expectations.
  

• A more positive relationship exists between and among staff and students.

• Focus is on an educational approach to teaching, modeling and acknowledging expectations.
