What is positive behavior support and how might it relate to the concept of prevention among young children?
What will be an ideal response?
Answers should include an explanation of positive behavior support (PBS) including the following: a school-wide behavior plan agreed upon by all professionals in the school; purpose and rules stated in positive manner; procedures for teaching and demonstrating behavior expectations for students; and a clear plan for monitoring the program's effectiveness. Research on the effects of schoolwide PBS is encouraging: professionals in schools using this approach report that they are more effective and that they are motivated to continue using PBS. In middle school, this approach has led to fewer office discipline referrals, fewer suspensions, and an increase in math and reading achievement scores that could be directly attributed to fewer behavior problems. If young children attend schools with such structured, supportive programs, they are likely to have fewer behavior problems, and to learn skills with which to cope with the behavioral and emotional problems they do have.
