Positive Behavior Support
Positive
Behavior Support (PBS) is a
system-level approach to preventing and responding to school and classroom
discipline problems. PBS develops
school-wide systems that support staff to teach and
promote positive
behavior in all students. By reducing behavioral problems, PBS creates
and
maintains safe learning environments where teachers can teach and students can learn.
PBS Addresses:
-
High rates of problem
behavior that interfere with learning
-
Ineffective and
inefficient disciplinary practices
-
Lack of supports for
staff to address problem behavior
-
Lack of general and
specialized behavior interventions
-
Negative school climates
-
Reliance on
crisis/reactive management.
The
region-wide Positive Behavior Support Project, sponsored by HPREC, is assisting
schools (K-12) to build
systems to address behavior of all students. The following schools
are actively
participating in the PBS project.
