SWPBS Spiel
SWPBS is a team-based proactive systems approach for creating and maintaining safe and effective learning environments evidenced by positive social cultures and behavioral supports for all students. The focus of SWPBS is schools developing, implementing, evaluating and sustaining a three-tier model of teaching and preventions and tertiary interventions. Critical elements of SWPBS include (a) achievement of valued and desired outcomes, (b) adoption and sustained use of research-validated practices and curricula that maximize achievement of student and teacher outcomes, (c) team-based application of data-based decision making at many levels, and (d) development of systems (e.g., processes, routines, working structures, administrative support) to sustain achievement of valued and desired outcomes.
What is school-wide Positive Behavior Support?
A major advance in school-wide discipline is the emphasis on school-wide systems of support that include proactive strategies for defining, teaching and supporting appropriate student behaviors to create positive school environments. Instead of using a patchwork of individual behavioral management plans, a continuum of positive behavior support for all students within s school is implemented in areas including the classroom and non-classroom settings (such as hallways, restrooms). Positive behavior support is an application of a behaviorally-based system's approach to enhance the capacity of schools, families, and communities to design effective environments that improve the link between research-validated practices and the environments in which teaching and learning occurs. Attention is focused on creating and sustaining primary (school-wide), secondary (classroom), and tertiary (individuals) systems of support that improve lifestyle results (personal, health, social, family, work, recreation) for all children and youth by making problem behavior less effective, efficient, and relevant, and desired behavior more functional.
