A function based approach
• Practically all behaviour serves a purpose of “function” in the environment in which it occurs.
• Behaviour has two broad functions: to get something, person or event orto escape/avoid something, person or event

Whole School Approach
• School Wide discipline is NOT achieved one student at a time

SWPBS – Schools inQueensland and Tasmania
Reported;
• Improvement in student behaviour and general tone / climate of the school
• Reductions of behaviour referrals or at least the reduction in the intensity of referrals

DEPARTMENT OF EMPLOYMENT, EDUCATION AND TRAINING www.deet.nt.gov.au
Example of Cost benefit over 2 years using SWPBS
• Officer referral over 24months (Av 3 a day) = 1200
• If one office referral = 15 minutes of administrator time then
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION AND TRAINING
1200 x 15mins = 18000 minutes
= 300 hours
= 50 days to reinvest
DEPARTMENT OF EMPLOYMENT, EDUCATION AND TRAINING www.deet.nt.gov.au
In conclusion - SWPBS
• is a team based approach• Is a process that grows with the school• No two SWPBS plans look the same• Is Data Driven and evidence based• Uses preventative strategies, explicit
teaching, and reinforcement-based strategies• School Team involved in leadership and
coaching is the key to the process....
