Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports

In this course, we will build your understanding and knowledge of positive behavioral interventions and supports (PBIS).

This course is designed for teachers, staff, and administrators of PK-12 schools, as well as ESC staff; however, all learners are welcome.

After engaging in this course, learners should be able to do the following:

• Understand the impact of problem behaviors on educational outcomes
• Describe how PBIS functions within a multi-tiered system of supports (MTSS) framework
• Define what PBIS is and what PBIS is not
• Describe the five elements of PBIS and how they work in concert to make schools more effective
• Describe PBIS within each of the three tiers: universal, targeted, and intensive

Coaching Support Included

This training includes a coaching component delivered by experts at each regional education service center to help educators apply what they’ve learned with confidence and fidelity. Coaching provides personalized, job‑embedded support grounded in four research‑based practices proven to strengthen instruction: alliance-building, observation, modeling, and performance feedback.

Educators and coaches complete a three‑step coaching cycle—pre‑observation, observation, and performance feedback—to reinforce training content and improve implementation. Coaching is designed to fit flexibly into your existing schedule and enhance your work, not add to it.
