Schoolwide Positive Behavior Supports
Missouri Central Region
Welcome to the Missouri Central District home for Schoolwide Positive Behavior Supports!
What is SW-PBS?
Schoolwide Positive Behavior Support (SW-PBS) is a framework for creating safe and orderly learning environments in schools, while improving the social-emotional outcomes for students. It is a proactive approach that relies on research-based practices, including developing clear behavioral expectations, teaching these expectations, acknowledging appropriate behavior, consistently correcting inappropriate behavior, and using behavioral data to systematically solve problems. SW-PBS is built on a three-tiered model that provides additional behavioral supports to students who are not responding to the tier 1 interventions.
What are the benefits of SW-PBS?
Schools that consistently implement and use SW-PBS have:
Improved school climate
Improved student achievement
Reduced in-suspension and referral rates

Are you a new teacher or administrator in a SW-PBS school and have never participated in SW-PBS training? Missouri School-Wide Positive Behavior Supports will offer a one-day Tier 1 Refresher Training for staff members and administrators new to SW-PBS. This training focuses on understanding the components of the Tier 1 process.
Swift @ SWIS-New User Training: Anytime, No Cost.
Missouri Schoolwide Positive Behavior Supports will host a Swift at SWIS Training for buildings using SWIS that may have new SWIS users or existing users that need to be trained or have a refresher training. The training will focus on the basic navigational features of SWIS, data entry, revising data entry, and report generation. If your team or school has staff in need of SWIS training, please contact your Central Region consultants to schedule a time and date.
