Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports


Book Description

"Using behavior management strategies in classrooms has long been established as integral to promoting optimum learning conditions. However, with different models and beliefs about both school-wide and classwide behaviors being brought forth, it is now necessary to choose an approach that best fits students, classrooms, and schools to ensure that behavior management is being used to ensure the success of students and schools. Although there is much research about the topic of behavior management in classrooms and schools, this thesis will focus on the Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) framework in the context of classwide PBIS, how it relates to school wide PBIS, and how the framework results in desired outcomes for students. This thesis will provide an overview of classwide PBIS and discuss four primary components of the framework: (1) establishing and teaching expectations, (2) implementing strategies for appropriate behavior, (3) responding to inappropriate behavior and (4) the role of classwide PBIS in the sustainability of schoolwide PBIS. When all of these topics are understood and implemented correctly, it ensures that the PBIS framework will help increase desired behaviors in the classroom as well as schoolwide."--leaf 4.
