Who we are
The Midwest PBIS Network (MWPBIS) is a non-profit organization of education and human services leaders advancing systems change in youth-serving settings. MWPBIS partners with many agencies on advancing research to practice, and establishing demonstrations to build local capacity for sustainable implementation.
Over 25 years of empirical evidence demonstrates how Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) a multi-tiered system of support (MTSS) framework, provides a foundation for outcomes across a wide range of priorities, such as integration of academic and behavioral instruction (IMTSS), interconnecting community and school mental health systems (ISF), equity, staff wellness, community agency partnerships, and more.

Our Values
Our Values
Public Service
We encourage the collaborative exchange and dissemination of ideas, resources, and tools. We give away what works.
Our individual contributions are built on the work of others and are given back to the whole.
Positive
The “Positive” in the science of PBIS represents an ethical foundation of prioritizing the dignity of the child and family when identifying what works in learning environments.
Our Technical Assistance meets and respects where educators are at in their professional learning journey.
Collaboration
We co-learn with sites and partners to improve future implementation efforts for all.
We put research into practice, and partner with implementers to inform future research.
Equity
Systems change work prioritizes actions that elevate disproportionately affected voices; honor individual, family, and community identities; and achieve more equitable learning environments through meaningful participation of each student, family, and educator.
Local Capacity Building
We support lasting change by working on systems at the highest possible level (e.g. SEA, Region, LEA) to achieve fidelity and sustainable implementation.
Our best work results in organizations who can do the work on their own.
Improved Outcomes
Improved outcomes experienced by youth, families, and educators are the ultimate reason for and test of our work.
