PBIS Assessment is a web-based application designed to assist in high-fidelity, sustained implementation of school-wide Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS). A major feature of PBIS is the commitment to ongoing assessment of implementation. PBIS Assessment provides surveys for teams to take as they examine their level of PBIS adoption and guides them through the process for improving implementation to benefit students, families, and the overall school culture.
Please complete each of the two surveys independently, following the links provided:
The School Safety Survey (SSS) is a multiple-response survey taken to help teams determine risk and protective factors for the school. The SSS summary identifies what training and support may be needed related to school safety and violence prevention in the school.
This is the link for the Safety Survey:

The Self-Assessment Survey (SAS) is an annual, multiple-response survey to help teams identify the staff perception of implementation status and improvement priority for school-wide, classroom, non-classroom, and individual student systems.
This is the Link for the Self-Assessment Survey:
