The document provides information about implementing Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) in middle schools. It discusses using a multi-tiered framework with universal supports for all students and more targeted interventions for students needing additional support. Key aspects of PBIS implementation include explicitly teaching behavioral expectations, acknowledging appropriate behavior, implementing a continuum of consequences, and using data to monitor outcomes and improvement.
