School-Wide Positive Behavior Support

SWPBS

Positive Behavior Support is a collaborative, assessment-based approach to developing effective interventions for problem behavior.  It emphasizes the use of proactive, educative, and reinforcement-based strategies to achieve meaningful and durable behavior and lifestyle outcomes.  It aims to build effective environments in which positive behavior is more effective than problem behavior.

Traditionally, we focused on the student’s problem behavior and attempted to stop undesirable behavior through the use of punishment.  Now, through Positive Behavior Support we will replace undesired behavior with new behavior or skill.  PBS alters environments, teaches appropriate skills, and rewards appropriate behavior.

Components of PBS:

• Clearly defined and communicated expectations and rules
• Consequences and clearly stated procedures for rewarding appropriate behavior and for correcting rule-breaking behaviors
• An instructional component for teaching students self-control, expected behaviors, and social skills strategies
• A support plan to address the needs of students with chronic, challenging behaviors
