In an effort to increase schools' capacity to adequately address anti-social behaviors, school districts around the country are implementing zero tolerance policies and strengthening sanctions for rule violations. Although often well intentioned, these reactive responses are largely ineffective and ultimately displace the problem. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of an alternative approach to more traditional disciplinary practices focusing on School-Wide Positive Behavioral Support. (Contains 2 figures.)
