Effective behavioral practices and school structures are critical to improving the outcomes of students served in an alternative education setting (AE). School-wide Positive Behavior Supports (SW-PBIS) offers a promising approach to improving student outcomes in an alternative setting (AE). The purpose of this article is three-fold: 1) examine the impact of SW-PBIS over three years in an alternative education setting, 2) review the features of SW-PBIS appropriate for implementation in an AE, and 3) demonstrate the impact of SW-PBIS with a special education only population. A Spring 2020 assessment conducted by an external evaluation team, indicated that Woods schools are implementing the Tier I framework with fidelity. Overall, initial results suggest that SW-PBIS can help restructure an alternative school environment to better serve students.
