Who's at your PBIS table this year? Effective Tier 1 teams bring together multiple perspectives, establish clear roles, meet regularly, review data, and maintain an action plan. Start the year by reviewing your team membership and meeting schedule—and make sure the voices of students, families, and your school community are represented.

Use the National Center's Tier 1 guidance to review the foundational features of an effective Tier 1 team.

PBIS isn't a program—it's a framework for building sustainable systems that support effective practices. Strong systems establish clear roles, routines, resources, training, coaching, and opportunities to monitor progress. When these structures are in place, effective practices are more likely to continue even when staff, students, or priorities change.

Learn more about the Foundational Systems of Tier 1 PBIS by visiting our website at www.pbis.org/pbis/tier-1.

Join Lisa and Jamie for a discussion with Andrew Paulhamus, a veteran high school science teacher and PBIS team member at Williamsport Area High School in Pennsylvania. The answer to effective classroom management and supporting students to meet behavioral expectations is CONSISTENCY. Andrew discusses how matrices are used in his school and classroom as a resource to show students what expected behaviors related to rules and routines look and sound like.

Even if you are not a high school teacher, you will be provided with ways to implement these matrices effectively and include student voice in the process.

A new school year is an opportunity to intentionally create the conditions where students and adults can thrive. PBIS provides a framework for organizing the systems, data, and practices that support positive, predictable, and equitable learning environments. As you begin 2026–27, remember: the routines you establish, relationships you build, and systems you strengthen today can make a difference all year long.
