What is PBIS?
PBIS stands for Positive Behavior Interventions and Support. It was originally developed to provide a framework for developing more effective interventions for people who exhibit challenging behavior, while minimizing the use of aversive practices. At its core PBIS is routed in behavioral science. PBIS focuses on effectively teaching desired behaviors rather than punishing challenging behaviors. When implemented with individual students, the PBIS framework allows teachers and other school staff to make changes to the students environment and instruction that will create fast and sustainable change in the students behavior because it teaches a more efficient and effective way of getting their needs met in a school appropriate manner.
Since its inception research on the implementation of PBIS has allowed it to grow and develop from practices limited to individual student to practices effective for an entire schools and student population. PBIS can now be considered both an approach to working with student with challenging behavior, and an approach for making more effective school environments. .
What is SWPBIS?
Schoolwide PBIS (SWPBIS) is a systemic approach to developing both the behavioral and educational capacity of a school. At its core is a proactive rather than reactive system for developing the positive and effective behaviors we desire to see all of our students exhibit in our school. Rather than a prescribed program, PBIS is an approach that orchestrates evidence-based practices. While building their capacity to implement these practices schools tailor their implementation to be easy and efficient across their school and classroom settings. Additionally, SWPBIS is a three tiered approach, helping schools deliver three distinct intensities of behavioral intervention. This allows schools to minimize their drain on resources while maximizing their ability to teach all students the most desired and most effective behaviors that parents, teachers, and administrators want to see from all their students. Schools implementing SWPBIS with fidelity can expect to see a reduction in office discipline referrals and suspensions and expulsions. Additionally, schools can expect to see a recapture of lost instructional time, and increase test scores when coupled with effective instructional practices.
