Improving student academic and behavior outcomes is about ensuring all students have access to the most effective and accurately implemented instructional and behavioral practices and interventions possible. 

MUSD's district-wide integrated behavior system, Positive Behavioral Intervention and Support, is the application of positive interventions and system changes to achieve socially important behavior changes. It is  instrumental in teaching students respect, responsibility, and accountability from an early age. As part of PBIS, every school establishes clear expectations for the behavior expected in all classrooms and areas of school. Students are explicitly taught these expectations, and schools apply positive reinforcement and consistent consequences. 

PBIS is NOT a curriculum, intervention, or practice, but IS a decision making framework that guides selection, integration, and implementation of the best evidence-based academic and behavioral practices for improving important academic and social behavior outcomes for all students.

School-wide Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports is nationally recognized and implemented in over 27,000 schools across the United States.

Three major components of PBIS:

• Teaching appropriate behavior in all settings (3-5 expectations): Be Respectful, Be Responsible, Be Safe are a few examples
• Interventions when behavior expectations are not met
• Recognition when behaviors are met 

• Identify student/school needs
• Develop strategies for success
• Evaluate success through data collection

PBIS Goals:

• Develop positive school culture
• Teach students appropriate behavior and give them the support to sustain that behavior
• Increase academic performance
• Increase safety
• Decrease problem behaviors
