MBI is a proactive approach in creating behavioral supports and a social culture that establishes social, emotional, and academic success for all students.

MBI uses the Response to Intervention model which is a 3-tiered system of support and a problem solving process to assist schools in meeting the needs of and effectively educating all students.

"Data-based decision-making aligns curricular instruction and behavioral supports to student and staff needs. Schools applying MBI/PBIS begin by establishing clear expectations for behavior that are taught, modeled, and reinforced across all settings and by all staff. This provides a host environment that supports the adoption and sustained use of effective academic and social/emotional instruction. MBI/PBIS has proven its effectiveness and efficiency as an Evidence-Based Practice (Surai and Horner, 2007)
