Facilitating Academic Achievement Through Schoolwide Positive behavior Support

  • Chapter
Handbook of Positive Behavior Support

Part of the book series: Issues in Clinical Child Psychology ((ICCP))

Abstract

Two pieces of federal legislation—the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) and the Education Sciences Reform Act of 2002—put forth the idea that education should be an evidence-based field of practices for which verifiable information exists to support adoption and sustained use (cf. Fuchs & Deshler, 2007; Kratochwill &. Shernoff, 2004; Merrell & Buchanan, 2006; National Research Council, 2005). As a result, the search for and development and use of evidence-based practices has become the driving force in school improvement efforts across the country. Schoolwide positive behavior support (SW-PBS) is an evidence-based practice with broad applicability for improving academic and behavior outcomes in schools.

The purpose of this chapter is to present elements of SW-PBS that relate to academic achievement. We provide an overview of the key features of SW-PBS, including team and data-based decision making, implementation outcomes, and research addressing academic and behavior supports. We also summarize efforts to implement SW-PBS in a variety of educational settings and discuss implications of using SW-PBS to improve academic and behavior outcomes in schools.
