School-Wide Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports

Abstract

School-Wide Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (SWPBIS) refers to a systematic framework for service delivery in schools whereby evidence-based interventions are implemented within systems to ensure safe and equitable schools for all students. This chapter covers the SWPBIS model with particular attention to the potential of peers to be utilized in reducing the disproportionate discipline practices seen with various populations. This chapter includes practical recommendations for implementing SWPBIS and considerations of diversity and equity.
