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.

What People Are Saying

Jenelle Palmer

I just love how personal and welcoming Sherri and Kali are. They have been in education field and understand the struggles we as teachers go through. They provided relevant and applicable information for us to utilize in our school Tier 2 Team.

Principal

I had two teachers come back from a previous presentation about effective classroom practices. Both praised Sherri and Kali for the information shared. They have implemented several new strategies since then!
