4. What is School-Wide Positive Behavior Support? School-wide Positive Behavior Support (SWPBS) is a proactive approach based on a three-tiered model (universal, secondary, and individualized) of prevention and intervention aimed at creating safe and effective schools. Emphasis is placed on teaching and reinforcing important social skills and data-based problem-solving to address existing behavior concerns. SWPBS fosters positive school environments so that “all students” most particularly students with disabilities, can be successfully included within general education programs.
