SWPBS EXPLAINED
What is School Wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS)?
PBS is “.... a broad range of systematic and individualised strategies for achieving important social and learning outcomes while preventing problem behaviour with all students .”
Sugai & Horner, 2001;2002
The goal of School - Wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS) at The Lakes South Morang College – Primary is to create and maintain a positive and safe learning environment that enhances our school culture where we maximise individual academic and social growth.
Why School Wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS)?
This form of Behaviour Management varies from many historical behaviour management plans in that School Wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS) operates on the premise that as well as being learners of Literacy and Numeracy, children are also learners of behaviour.
Under this model, it is the role of the teachers (and school community members) to explicitly teach children appropriate behaviours and to set explicit behaviour expectations.
The program also recognises that some children are more skilled in this area than others. Approximately 80% of our students are making positive behaviour choices for the majority of the time and we need to recognise this fact.
