Welcome to RASD Middle School SWPBIS!
What is SWPBIS?
School-Wide Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (SWPBIS) is a proactive, multi-tiered framework designed to make schools more effective, supportive, and inclusive learning environments. It helps create a positive school culture by offering the behavioral support students need to improve their social, emotional, behavioral, and academic outcomes. SWPBIS is adaptable to meet the needs of students, families, and the wider community.
Tiers of SWPBIS
Behavioral support in SWPBIS is personalized and delivered in three tiers based on each student’s individual needs. The level of support increases in intensity as needed:
-
Tier 1 – Universal Support
This is the foundation of SWPBIS. All students benefit from consistent, school-wide expectations and positive reinforcement. These proactive supports aim to prevent problem behaviors before they start. -
Tier 2 – Targeted Support
Designed for students identified as "at risk," this tier provides additional, targeted interventions to address emerging behavioral concerns. -
Tier 3 – Intensive Support
This level is reserved for students with the most significant behavioral needs. It involves individualized and highly focused interventions to help these students succeed.
By implementing SWPBIS, Rochester Area Middle School strives to ensure that every student receives the support they need to thrive in school and beyond.
