Welcome to the School-wide Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports online training site. This online learning opportunity introduces the SWPBIS model to school teams. Originally presented in a series of on-site trainings this information has been made available in a condensed online format.
School-wide Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (SWPBIS) is:
- a systems approach to enhancing the capacity of schools to adopt and sustain the use of effective practices for all students
- a team-based process for systemic problem solving and planning
- an approach to creating an environment within which school-based teams of educators create system change for effective management
- when school-based teams apply research and validated instructional and management practices
How to Use SWPBIS Training
Suggested use for school team members, including administrators, classroom teachers and paraprofessionals:
- view videos clips
- review accompanying materials
- discuss and explore the information in a small group setting
Keep in mind:
- this online course format is not meant to duplicate the on-site trainings
- the goal is to provide information
- this online course works best for desktop viewing
This online course utilizes:
- streaming video content
- downloadable reading and study materials
All of this allows us to provide state of the art online learning capabilities to you in a “learn anywhere/anytime environment.” Great detail has gone into the creation and production of these learning materials and we think you will find the content to be of excellent quality and the learning potential to exceed your expectations.
