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.

PBIS Fidelity
KDE recognizes schools for implementing PBIS with fidelity! Schools who applied for recognition at three levels, bronze, silver, or gold. All who applied achieved recognition! The details can be found in the 2022-2023 PBIS Fidelity Schools document. Current standards can be found in the PBIS State Recognition of Fidelity Standards.
PBIS Video Modules
The PBIS video modules were created in partnership with the Center for Instructional and Behavioral Research in Schools (CIBRS) at University of Louisville. District policy for
monitoring completion of professional development, including yearly PBIS
training, will dictate how personnel will be credited for training with the new
modules.
