Abstract
This project addresses the increasing need for effective classroom behavior management through professional development and coaching for general education teachers in the implementation of School-Wide Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (SWPBIS). Grounded in research, this literature review examines the gaps in teachers' understanding and application of behavior strategies, especially compared to special educators. The project includes two components: an assessment report detailing SW-PBIS initiatives and their impact, and a coaching program aimed at improving classroom-level practices. Using evidence-based methods, such as training, observation, and feedback, the study demonstrates how targeted support enhances teacher capacity, reduces challenging student behaviors, and fosters a positive school culture. This work highlights the role of sustained professional development in advancing student outcomes and building inclusive educational environments.
