Positive Behaviour Support
Positive Behaviour Support is a school-wide behaviour system that aims to eliminate challenging behaviours and replace them with pro-social skills. It is a multi-tiered model that aims to help students develop positive behaviours through a continuum of positive behavioural support strategies in a school setting. The three levels are universal, secondary and individualised. The lowest level is universal and the secondary and individualised levels build from this level yet each level has its own specific focus. All PBS are research and data driven.
Tier 1 - Universal.
The first tier refers to all students and staff within the school or district. Students are taught social skills, positive reinforcement, positive behaviour expectations and procedures. Intervening at this level will help make solving problematic behaviours more manageable. Effective classroom management and supervision at this level will help create a safe and welcoming culture. This level unites all adults in using common language, common practices and consistent application of positive and negative reinforcements. It is effective for 85-90% of students.

Tier 2 - Secondary.
This tier reaches out to 7-10% of students who needed extra support beyond what was given in the primary tier. It targets small groups and simple individual plans, particularly aimed for at-risk students. The main focus is to find alternatives to suspension and to increase academic and classroom management support. There is a need for proactive collaboration between staff, parents and students during the interventions at this tier.
Tier 3 - Individualised.
This tier reaches 3-5% of students which involves intensive instruction that builds on from tier 2. Students are taught social skills individually and students will often have a behaviour management plan. Components for the behaviour support plan at this level may include preventing problem behaviours, using replacement behaviours and emergency intervention. Further collaboration with parents and other professionals continue at this tier and the intensity of academic support increases.
