The Positive Behavior Intervention and Support (PBIS) method is a set of strategies and techniques used to establish the guidelines of desired behavioral expectations for students. If a child exhibits negative behavior, instructors are encouraged to provide students with constructive feedback about expected behavior, and address them with a positive statement or correction instead of using a punitive method.
