School-Wide Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (SWPBIS)
This is a universal prevention program applied throughout the school with the aim of reducing the behavioral problems that lead to the suspension of students, as well as of changing the perception of school safety.
The components of the intervention are:
1) The school puts together a team that includes six to ten members and an administrator, who train and meet twice a month to discuss school-wide behavior management systems and procedures;
2) An external behavior support coach provides consulting and technical assistance at the school;
