School-Wide Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (SWPBIS)
A universal, school-wide prevention program for children, ages 5-11, aimed at reducing behavior problems that lead to discipline referrals and suspensions, and changing the perceptions of school safety. The program does so by establishing a social culture within schools in which students expect and support appropriate behavior from one another— and thereby create school environments that are socially predictable, consistent, safe, and positive.
