The goal of PBIS is to enhance the capacity of schools to educate all students, especially students with challenging behaviors, by adopting a sustained, positive, preventative, and effective instructional approach to school-wide discipline and behavior management. This school-wide approach focuses on teaching and encouraging positive behavioral expectations and increasing school capacity to support sustained use of empirically validated practices.
Education Service Center- Region 19 is committed to supporting schools with full implemention of this multi-tiered framework by providing comprehensive training, coaching and assessment. We offer three comprehensive service packages for Tier I, Tier II and Tier III. These services are designed to build the capacity of your campus-based team and support PBIS implementation to fidelity. They are designed to be customized to your unique campus and staff needs.

Texas Behavior Support Network
The goal of the Texas Behavior Support (TBS) Network is to create a system of PBIS for students with disabilities and all students attending Texas public schools. Although the original focus of TBS was to support the behavior needs of students with disabilities, it quickly became evident in examining the newly expanding PBIS model that in order to address the needs of children in special education, prevention interventions had to be implemented for all students. Therefore, the TBS Network adopted PBIS as its philosophical foundation and supports all three tiers of the model, including school-wide and classroom.
