This is a practitioner’s guide to implementing School-Wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS) at Tier 1. SWPBS is a multi-tiered evidence-based framework used in schools worldwide to establish positive learning environments and improve social, emotional, and behavioural outcomes for students. SWPBS is gaining in popularity across educational sectors in Australia and beyond as a proven framework to support student learning, wellbeing, and behaviour.
Hepburn distils the theories and principles underpinning SWPBS to provide step-by-step guidance and practical strategies for each stage of implementation. With dedicated chapters on all Tier 1 core features, this handbook is a must-have resource for schools seeking advice on getting started with SWPBS, building or reviewing their behaviour support systems, or striving to maintain implementation fidelity.
This indispensable book is the definitive implementation handbook on SWPBS at Tier 1 and provides a valuable reference for individual schools, school systems, school leaders, teachers, and student support staff who want to build their knowledge of the framework and access guidance on how to implement it. If you care about equity, student and staff wellbeing, and improving learning outcomes then this book is for you.
Lorna Hepburn is an educational consultant providing professional development and coaching to schools. For over 10 years she led the implementation of School-Wide Positive Behaviour Support in government schools in Queensland, Australia. She is the author of several academic publications and is a regular speaker at conferences.
