Question:

What are positive behavior supports?

Answer:

In Maryland schools, there are guidelines and regulations for Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) which are research-based methods to create positive learning environments. These guidelines include training requirements for school staff on evidence-based interventions, trauma-informed strategies, and professional standards. The State Superintendent provides guidance on best practices for implementing positive behavior intervention plans to support students’ behavior.
