Now available: a new fact sheet developed by the National Council regarding Positive Behavioral Supports (PBS), a school-wide intervention that can maximize academic performance and minimize problem behaviors. As described in this fact sheet, improving student academic and behavior outcomes is about ensuring all students have access to the most effective and accurately implemented instructional and behavioral practices and interventions possible. School-wide Positive Behavioral Supports (PBS) provides an operational framework for achieving these outcomes. More importantly, PBS is not a curriculum, intervention, or practice, but is a decision making framework that guides selection, integration, and implementation of the best evidence-based academic and behavioral practices for improving important academic and behavior outcomes for all students.
This fact sheet provides you with the information necessary to engage your local school in organizing an evidence-based approach to behavioral practices that appropriately targets children based on their level of need. A three-tiered prevention approach provides all students with supports at the universal or primary tier. If the behavior of some students is not responsive, more intensive behavioral supports are provided, in the form of a group intervention or a highly individualized plan for children with more intensive problems.
