SWPBIS- School Wide Positive Behavior Interventions Support

What is SWPBIS?

SWPBIS is a research based, proactive approach to establishing the behavioral supports and social culture needed for all students in our school to achieve social, emotional, and academic success.  SWPBIS places emphasis on prevention of problem behavior, development of pro-social skills, and the use of data-based problem solving for addressing existing behavior concerns.

The key components of an effective SWPBIS system involve:

• Clearly defining and teaching a set of behavioral expectations.
• Consistently acknowledging and rewarding appropriate behavior
• Constructively addressing problem behavior
• Effectively using behavioral data to assess progress
