School-Wide Positive Behavior Support System

Schoolwide positive behavioral interventions and supports is a systems approach to effectively managing student behavior. The review of literature will discuss the critical elements to a systems approach for schoolwide behavior management and the proposed implementation. I will also focus on describing the barrier and enablers for successful implementation of PBIS. Finally, I will discuss the literature on sustainability of PBIS.

Managing Student Behavior Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is a multi-tier strategy based on student outcome as opposed to a set curriculum. In a classroom it is based on 6 essential practices, but the strategies can, and should be implemented school wide for maximum benefit. The following will offer some history on PBIS, a breakdown of the 6 essential classroom practices, and a brief description of what a three tier strategy would encompass. History Positive Behavior Interventions

has been an educational system, teachers and administration have used various forms of punishment to manage student behavior. In America today, there are fifteen states that that expressly permit the use of corporal punishment and seven more that do not prohibit the use of corporal punishment in schools (Turner, 2016). At the same time, the U.S. Department of Education has established the National Technical Assistance Center on Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports. This variance in the condoning

This approach to discipline includes school-wide, targeted, and individualized strategies for achieving social and learning outcomes while preventing problem behavior with all students.

You will see that we have added reminders throughout the school (in the classrooms, hallways, lunchroom, bathrooms, etc.) as a

prevention, intervention, and curriculum in the schools. It is crucial for schools to investigate their current school social culture and the climate of bullying in their building among the students along with essential involvement and buy in from parents and community members (Bradshaw 2015). We will now focus on the approach and importance of bullying from a Tier 1 intervention perspective. Most of all bullying prevention curriculums used in schools today use a universal (all students) approach

explore the links between implementation of School-wide positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (SWPBIS) and (1) academic, (2) attendance, and (3) behavior outcomes in 883 high schools (Freeman, et al., 2016). Subjects studied (who was in the study): 883 high schools from 37 states had data compiled in this study with 40% of the students in the study were on free or reduced lunch programs and 33% were students of minority. The average size of school enrollment was 1,080 students, and average
