Review and Critique of Positive Behaviour Support Model
(Review and Critique of Positive Behaviour Support
Model)
Background:
This assignment asks you to review the extensive literature on the model that has become known as the Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) model but also known as Positive Behaviour Intervention Support (PBIS), Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) and other names. The
names reflect a model developed by Sugai and Horner and elaborated by many others including Lewis, Todd and others. I have also provided readings that provide alternate models and you should consider these in challenges to the PBIS approach as well as in the critique of the PBIS model as it has a very specific conceptual approach.
Given the readings and other references you choose to identify, identify the key themes of the PBIS model as applied to schools, the model’s strengths and challenges and critique its value as a model of supporting a school to become more positive in its management of student (and staff) behaviours.
The assignment needs to be presented as a piece of academic writing that is fully referenced.
the headings are :
– Structure and logical development.
– Key themes of the model.
– Strengths and challenges of the model.
– Critique of the model.
******* please
– Use an academic style of writing including an introduction and conclusion. The
introduction should outline the approach to be taken and the conclusion summarises the
argument and leaves the reader with something to think about. Paragraphs should follow
sequentially with the first sentence of each paragraph indicating the main theme of the
paragraph to provide the reader with an idea of the author’s intention or to act as an introduction. Writing should be succinct and coherent, synthesising the reading material with personal interpretation.
-If using abbreviations, use the expanded version in the first instance accompanied by the abbreviation and then just the abbreviation after that, for example, curriculum-based evaluation (CBE).
– Check that all citations in the text are detailed in the reference section. Only references cited in the text should be detailed in the reference section. Page numbers must be cited when using a direct quotation.
– Proof-read and edit work before submission.
• Provide a variety of sentence starters rather than repeating the same over.
