SWIS computer program tracks behavior
data

Identifies patterns of high incident areas,
behaviors and students

Patterns are addressed by re-teaching
behaviors, using replacement behaviors and
positive behavior support plans

Graph shows us what times and areas the behaviors
usually occur, allowing us to implement more staff
and structure in these areas

“PBIS is an effective school-wide framework
for implementing and sustaining bully
prevention efforts.”

“PBIS has a strong focus on partnering with
families and community, which are necessary
components of effective bully prevention
efforts.”

Olweus, 2003; Ross, Horner & Stiller, 2008.
“Bullying is when someone repeatedly and on
purpose says or does mean or hurtful things
to another person who has a hard time
defending himself or herself. The three key
components of bullying behavior are:
(1)Involves and imbalance of power and
strength; (2) Involves a pattern of behavior
over time; and (3) Involves an aggressive
behavior.”
From Olweus Bullying Prevention Program

“Stand alone, anti-bullying programs and
curricula are often based on the premise that
bullying can be reduced solely by increasing
supervision, identifying perpetrators, and
punishing them until they no longer bully
others. Programs based on this approach are
shown to increase the number of students
who report being bullied by 20%.”
Rigby, 2009
