School-Wide Positive Behavior Support: Preventing the Escalation of Antisocial Behavior in Schools, by Barry McCurdy, Ph. D. and Kristin Sawka, Ph.D., 2006 (originally published by the former PA CASSP Training and Technical Assistance Institute): Antisocial behavior, often defined by aggressive, delinquent and violent acts, is increasing dramatically among our nation’s youth. Efforts to address antisocial behavior call for intervention across multiple contexts, including the home, the community and the school. School-wide positive behavior support is a three-tiered model of school-based prevention that provides educators with a framework to address escalating antisocial behavior. Initial research on model effectiveness is promising. Moreover, the model allows for clear and collaborative roles for both education and behavioral health care professionals in addressing the needs of students requiring the most intensive level of support.
