Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL)
PBL is a broad range of systemic and individualised strategies for achieving important social and learning outcomes while preventing problem behaviour. Expectations for student behaviour are clearly defined and reinforced. Appropriate student behaviour is taught during weekly PBL lessons and a whole school rule focus. Positive behaviours are publicly acknowledged and effective behavioural support is implemented consistently by staff (including administration, Learning Support Officers, canteen, cleaners and administration). Inappropriate behaviour has clear and predictable consequences. Student behaviour is monitored and staff receive regular feedback.
The main ideas of PBL:
- To focus on student engagement
- Preventative emphasis
- A system based intervention
- A problem solving framework
- Promotion and application of evidence-based interventions
- Inclusive of all students
- Supports the curriculum
