School-Wide PBS Services

SWPBS provides an operational framework for improving student academic and behavior outcomes by ensuring all students have access to the most effective and accurately implemented instructional and behavioral practices and interventions possible. SWPBS is not a curriculum, intervention, or practice. Rather, it is a decision making framework that guides selection, integration, and implementation of the best evidence-based academic and behavioral practices for improving important academic and behavior outcomes for all students. (Adapted from information athttp://pbis.org/school/what_is_swpbs.aspx). Evidence based strategies are organized around a prevention model at the primary, secondary and tertiary levels.

PBS-NV is working to develop School-Wide capacity at the state level and in Nevada school districts by providing leadership, coordination, advanced training, and access to national expertise and other resources. Nearly 50% of the schools in Washoe County School District are in the process of implementing School-Wide PBS. Four schools in Elko County School District and one school in Carson City School District are also implementing SW-PBS. In all, seven school districts are involved in implementing some level of SW-PBS including Lyon, Douglas, Carson City, Storey and White Pine, as well as Elko and Washoe.
