Description

<p>School-Wide Positive Behavior Support (SWPBS) is an application of the behavior analytic approach to the education system. School-wide positive behavior support consists of 4 elements: practice, system, data, and outcome. These 4 elements have rarely been explained from the three-term contingency perspective. In the present paper, these 4 elements are interpreted from this perspective to discuss how school-wide positive behavior support could be adapted to the Japanese education system. Additionally, state- and district-level systems in the U.S. that support schools to implement school-wide positive behavior support with fidelity are introduced. To establish such systems and to promote large-scale implementation of school-wide positive behavior support in Japan, first, a data-based decision-making system suitable for Japanese schools should be developed, one that is in the context of the limitations of the resources available in Japanese schools. One possible way to overcome limited resources is to establish an environment that enables replacing teachers’ current behaviors with school-wide positive behavior support-relevant behaviors.</p>
