Primary Prevention: Effective School and Classroom Behavior Support
• Create a common purpose and approach• Identify, teach, and reinforce expected
behaviors• Assess current procedures for addressing
inappropriate behavior• Continually assess progress
Secondary Prevention: Targeted Group Instruction
• Focus on settings that are problematic (hallway, cafeteria, bus)
• Teach smaller groups of students social skills and expected behaviors
• Provide additional services for students at risk for engaging in more serious problem behavior
• Provide additional services such as tutoring, remedial reading programs, and counseling
Tertiary Prevention: Individual Student Support
• Embed PBS within student support team process
• Identify the function a problem behavior serves
• Modify environment & teach new skills
• Consider all settings in which student needs support (home, school, community)
