Miami-Dade County Public Schools
is one of the
many school districts across the state of Florida to implement
School-wide
Positive
Behavior
Support.
SWPBS, a program model, is currently being implemented in a total of
22 schools throughout the district. The program
includes a strong training and technical support component from the
University of South Florida, Florida's Positive Behavior Support
Project. The philosophy of Positive Behavior Support
centers upon principles of positive reinforcement, instruction of
appropriate social behaviors, and modification on a macro-system wide
level encompassing all students and staff. Behavior is analyzed with the
use of data analysis. Interventions are strategically implemented in
order to improve school climate, overall student behavior, increase test
scores, and reduce referrals and suspension rates. |
