This document outlines an assignment to create a school-wide Positive Behavioral Intervention and Supports (SWPBIS) plan, requiring the selection of a school level and the inclusion of elements such as rationale, implementation strategies, and reward systems. It provides guidelines for presenting the plan in a PowerPoint or Prezi format, while referencing specific scholarly resources and chapters that discuss behavior management strategies. The project aims to foster positive behaviors in students through structured reinforcement and acknowledgment systems.

School Wide Positive Behavioral Intervention and Supports
(SWPBIS)
View the presentation,
School-Wide Positive Behavior Support: Getting Started
.
For this assignment, your school principal has asked for your
assistance in creating a School-Wide Positive Behavioral
Intervention and Supports (SWPBIS) system. Choose a school
level (elementary, middle, or high school) to create a SWPBIS
plan. Use the information found in the presentation provided as
your foundation.
Your plan must include:
Rationale and features.
Describe what will be included in the plan. For example:
Discipline
School safety
Attendance
Character education
School spirit
Implementation.
Discuss how you will implement this practice.
Discuss how will you inform students and keep it enforced. For
example:
Any teacher can hand out a ticket
Tickets can only be given out during certain times of the day
Student's name must immediately be written on the ticket

2. Rewards.
State who will be in charge of administering the rewards.
Describe the kinds of rewards you will offer the students, and
how often will they be administered. For example:
Students will collect tickets from any teacher when they are
caught doing something good. At the end of the semester, there
will be a "price" guide where the tickets can be traded
Students will be acknowledged each semester for things like
perfect attendance, good citizenship, and service to the school
and community
Peer nominations for specific awards
You will create a presentation using
Prezi
or PowerPoint. Your SWPBIS plan must be 10 to 15 slides in
length, with a title slide, an introduction slide, and a reference
slide. Your plan should also be formatted according to APA
guidelines, as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center. Be sure
to use at least three scholarly sources in addition to the
textbook.
