Levels of Implementation

VT PBIS > Levels of Implementation

Universal

At the Universal Level, support strategies are created that are preventative and proactive apply to all students and staff. During the Universal Training, school leadership teams come together to develop an implementation plan based on the following six components of PBIS implementation.

Targeted

Common Targeted strategies involve small groups of students or simple individualized intervention strategies. Targeted Level is designed for use in schools for students who are at risk of chronic problem behavior, but for whom high intensity interventions are not essential.

Intensive

The intensive level of VTPBIS is designed to provide a continuum of individualized, comprehensive, and team-based interventions for students with complex issues whose needs have not been adequately addressed with less intensive PBIS interventions at the Universal and Targeted levels.

Expanding and Enhancing Targeted Interventions within PBIS

Schools that implement the targeted level of PBIS can explore ways to broaden and enhance their targeted systems, practices, and data. Teams learn ways to strengthen and build upon universal strategies while tightening up, enhancing, and developing new targeted interventions.

 

Refreshing, Enhancing, and Deepening Universal PBIS

This is an opportunity for schools at any level of PBIS implementation to explore ways to strengthen their Universal implementation. Teams take a deep dive into implementation strengths and needs in the areas of equity and cultural responsiveness, student and family voice, systems, and practices in each of the Universal core components.
