What is SWPBS?

School‐wide Positive Behavior Support (SWPBS) is a systems approach to establishing the whole‐school social culture and intensive individual behavior supports needed for schools to achieve social and academic gains while minimizing problem behavior for all students. SWPBS is NOT a specific curriculum, intervention, or practice, but a decision making framework that guides selection, integration, and implementation of scientifically‐based academic and behavioral practices for improving academic and behavior outcomes for all students. A central feature of SWPBS is implementation of behavioral practices throughout the entire school. SWPBS defines practices that all students experience in all parts of the school and at all times of day.

All Cumberland County schools participate in SWPBS. Below, you will find the acronyms being used at each school.  These acronyms are used to establish the type of behavior that is expected from the students.
