Behaviour code for students - NSW public schools
PB4L
Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) is a schoolwide behaviour initiative currently in schools across NSW. It employs a whole school systems approach to address problem behaviour and reduce its effects on student outcomes and on the school community as a whole. PBL encourages positive behaviour from students, which has been shown to improve their self-concept and motivation to learn.
When PBL is effective, a safe and supportive learning environment is provided for all students. Students and staff benefit from:
- increased academic instructional time for students
- improved social climate of the school
- increased numbers of students displaying positive behaviours
- support for students, teachers and families which is matched to their needs
- systems that support an instructional approach
- consistent delivery of effective programs and practices that are sustained over time.
