Positive Behaviour For Learning (PB4L)

PB4L is a school process for teaching social and behavioural skills so that the focus can be on teaching and learning.
In essence, PB4L is a framework, or an approach, that:
  • Teaches behaviour as we do academics.
  • Provides a broad range of systemic and individualised strategies for achieving the important social and learning outcomes, while preventing problem behaviours with students.
  • Is a compilation of research-validated and effective practices, interventions, and “system change” strategies that:
    • Improves the social behavioural climate of schools.
    • Increases proactive/positive/preventive management while decreasing reactive management.
    • Improves support for students, including at risk and students with emotional behavioural difficulties.
    • Acknowledges the 80% of students who “always do the right thing at the right time”!
