Positive Behavior Support

School Wide Behavior Support (SW-PBS) is a proactive approach to put behavior/social skills strategies in place for all students while also building in support for those at risk for and/or those who receive special education services. SW-PBS is a process for creating safer and more effective schools by structuring the learning environment to support the academic and social successes of students. The process supports the adoption and long-term implementation of efficient and effective discipline throughout the school environment. SW-PBS methods are research-based, proven to significantly reduce the occurrence of problem behaviors in schools, and supported by a three-tiered model.
