Trauma
Environmental factors

Positive Behaviour Support

Positive behaviour support (PBS) is a proactive approach to behaviour management that focuses on preventing and reducing challenging behaviour. PBS involves:

PBS has been shown to be an effective way to improve behaviour and academic outcomes for students with challenging behaviour.

Behaviour Intervention Plans

In some cases, a behaviour intervention plan (BIP) may be necessary to address challenging behaviour. A BIP is a written plan that outlines the specific strategies and interventions that will be used to support the student.

BIPs should be developed by a team of professionals, including the student's teacher, parents, and other school staff. The BIP should be based on the student's individual needs and should be reviewed and updated regularly.

Working with Families

Collaboration with families is essential for addressing challenging behaviour in schools. Parents can provide valuable insights into their child's behaviour and can help to develop and implement behaviour plans.

Schools can support families by:

Providing information about challenging behaviour and PBS
Offering training and support to parents
Encouraging family involvement in school activities

Case Study 1: A student with ADHD who is struggling with disruptive behaviour in class
Case Study 2: A student with autism who is having difficulty interacting with peers
Case Study 3: A student who has experienced trauma and is exhibiting aggressive behaviour

These case studies provide real-world examples of how PBS and other strategies can be used to improve behaviour and academic outcomes for students with challenging behaviour.

Challenging behaviour in schools is a complex issue, but it can be effectively addressed with the right knowledge and skills. This comprehensive guide provides educators with the tools they need to create a positive and supportive learning environment for all students.
