A positive behaviour support approach for schools can significantly reduce behaviour issues that are a key obstacle to learning. Taking a whole school approach to behaviour is one of the best solutions to preventing issues whatever the type of school. This is called School Wide Positive Behaviour Support. Using a tiered approach to interventions the School Wide PBS approach puts into place a continuum of support for all students.
This introductory workshop ensures that all teaching staff have a clear framework for understanding the essential principles of PBS and how this approach fits with other popular educational approaches. The primary aim of PBS is to meet a young persons needs, understand the function of their behaviour and remove obstacles to learning.
