Alaska Schoolwide Positive Behavior Supports

How do we do it? (Implementation of Tiers)

Click on image to view larger.This section assists schools in understanding the development of the SW-PBS framework. SW-PBS is a structured general education social/emotional framework (not a curriculum) designed to create a common language and focus among staff and students. This common language creates an environment that promotes consistency, prevents student behaviors from getting worse, is predictable for students, and is proactive.

For the purpose of “how do we do it” school districts can develop their internal capacity for SW-PBS implementation through ongoing professional development training. This training/framework development can be provided by an external source (external coach) or by school staff with an expertise in SW-PBS.
