Best practice at NHS

Positive Behaviour for Learning, known as PBL is an evidence-based whole school systems approach that:

• addresses the diverse academic and social needs of every student to support them to be successful
• supports students in early childhood settings through to senior years of schooling
• enables schools to establish  a continuum of supports that are intensified to meet the needs of every student

• is team driven, using a problem solving approach (data, systems and practices) that engages students, parents and all school staff
  
• establishes positive social expectations for all in the school community
• provides a framework for the school and its community to collectively support the wellbeing of every student.

When implemented well:

• students respond positively as they have been taught what is expected of them
• staff deliver consistent responses to student learning and behaviour
• students feel safe and cared for at school. Their parents, family and community are more involved in their school
• unproductive and challenging behaviour can be significantly reduced for most students.
