School-wide PBIS is a multi-tiered framework to make schools more effective places. It establishes a social culture and the behavior supports needed to improve social, emotional, behavioral, and academic outcomes for all students. PBIS is flexible enough support student, family, and community needs.
The implementation of SWPBIS in Jamaica is spearheaded by the Ministry of Education and Youth and is geared at establishing and sustaining effective school wide and individual behaviour support that will maximize the academic, social and behavioural outcomes of our students.
Tier 1:
Universal
Tier 1 supports are delivered to all students and emphasize teaching prosocial skills and behavior expectations.
Tier 2:
Targeted
Tier 2 supports focus on students who are not successful with Tier 1 supports alone.
Tier 3:
Intensive, Individualized
Tier 3 are more intensive and individualized. Schools use more formalized assessments to match interventions to the behavior’s function.
