Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS)

and Social and Emotional Learning

More Alike Than Different

Learning Intentions• How PBIS and SEL work together • How both necessary to support a positive,

effective learning climate • How to systematically integrate SEL into

existing PBIS structures at your site

School-wide PBIS is the application of PBIS to the whole school. Thus, it is a broad range of systemic and individualized strategies for achieving important social and learning outcomes while preventing problem behavior with all students. It is a school discipline and positive school climate model.

SEL is a process for helping children and adults develop the fundamental skills for life effectiveness. SEL teaches
