What is PB4L

RAS is a PB4L Schoolwide school. In a nutshell, PB4L School-Wide takes the approach that opportunities for learning and achievement increase if:

  • the school environment is positive and supportive
  • expectations are consistently clear
  • students are consistently taught desired behaviours
  • students are consistently acknowledged for desired behaviours and undesirable behaviours are responded to in a fair and equitable way

PB4L Tiers

PB4L School-Wide is a tiered process:
  • Tier 1 is the foundation on which the other two tiers are built. It looks at the support systems and processes across the whole school – things that impact on all students and adults.
  • Tier 2 looks at interventions for students who require additional behaviour and learning support.
  • Tier 3 looks at more individualised and intensive support for students who experience chronic, severe, and challenging behaviours.
