Abstract:

High Schools have more people, more departments, large campuses and more extracurricular activities making it more complicated for faculty to meet and to build consensus. The purpose of SCHOOL WIDE POSITIVE BEHAVIOR SUPPORT (SWPBS) is to improve school environment and prevent students’ problem behaviours across all school setting. Impact of implementation was measured using direct observation. The results suggest that SWPBS not only reduces discipline problem but also improves the school’s overall academic outcomes because it creates a climate helpful to learning.
