Positive Behaviour Support (PBS)
- Aims to understand and address the underlying causes of challenging behaviour, rather than just modifying the behaviour itself.
School Wide PBS (SW-PBS)
- Guided by six principles: equity, empathy, empowerment, evidence-based, individualized, and culturally responsive.
Prevention Levels in SW-PBS
- Primary Prevention/Universal Support: strategies applied to all students to prevent problem behaviour and promote a positive school climate.
- Secondary Prevention: targeted interventions for students at risk of developing problem behaviour.
- Tertiary Prevention: individualized interventions for students with severe problem behaviour.
Focus and Goals of SW-PBS
- Main Focus: creating a positive school climate and reducing problem behaviour.
- Goal of Implementation: to reduce problem behaviour, improve academic performance, and enhance social-emotional well-being.
- Goal of SW-PBS: to provide a proactive and preventative approach to student behaviour support.
Key Differences in Prevention Levels
- Primary vs. Secondary Prevention: primary prevention is universal and proactive, while secondary prevention is targeted and early intervention.
- Secondary vs. Tertiary Prevention: secondary prevention targets students at risk, while tertiary prevention focuses on individualized support for students with severe problem behaviour.
