Commonly called School-Wide PBIS, or SWPBS the program works to improve student academic and behavior outcomes. It provides an operational framework for achieving these outcomes. SWPBS is not a curriculum, intervention or practice, but it is a decision making framework that guides selection, integration and implementation of the best evidence-based academic and behavioral practices for improving important academic and behavior outcomes for all students.
