Abstract
Chronic and increasingly intense behavioral challenges continue to vex educators from pre- through high school. While early intervention and prevention are essential to alter these patterns, schools are still responsible for ensuring student success regardless of their prior learning history. Unfortunately to date, educators have had limited impact with students with emotional and behavioral disabilities. Response-to-intervention research has documented that early identification of high-risk learners coupled with a continuum of empirically validated instructional practices can both reduce the numbers of students requiring intensive supports and lead to improved learning outcomes among students with disabilities. A parallel process of school-wide positive behavior support (SW-PBS) also applies the logic of early identification of risk coupled with research-based supports to reduce the numbers of students requiring intensive supports as well as provide more comprehensive and integrated supports for students with disabilities. This chapter provides an overview of SW-PBS with a specific emphasis on essential features of tier 2/3 systems within the context of a complete multi-tiered system of support. Research to date on both the individual practices as well as integrated tier 2/3 supports is discussed. Implications for practice are also provided.
