Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is an evidence-based three-tiered framework with practices and systems to establish a foundation of regular, proactive support while preventing unwanted behaviors.  PBIS is implemented school wide to promote positive, predictable, safe environments for everyone in all school settings.

The Ohio PBIS Network was initiated by the Ohio Department of Education Office for Exceptional Children to develop materials, resources and training to support the scaling up of PBIS in Ohio schools. 

The Gallia Vinton ESC has two staff members as master trainers in Tiers I, 2 and 3;  Early Childhood maters trainers and PAX Community Educators.  Thad is also a SWIS (School Wide Information System) Facilitator: For more information, please contact Thad Haines or Katie Kilgour.
