Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL)

PublishingPageContent


Background

Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) is an organisational framework which draws on the principles of implementation science and Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) to select culturally appropriate evidence-based practices to support all students and to help schools achieve their school improvement goals. PBL is a Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) framework which can be used to improve academic, wellbeing and behavioural outcomes. PBL uses a problem-solving model to examine relevant data, determine desired outcomes, and establish systems and practices to achieve identified goals.

Research

A growing body of research in schools shows reductions in behavioural incidents, academic gains, improvements to wellbeing, a more positive school climate and increased perceptions of school safety when PBL is implemented as intended
