The FBA model can be used proactively to predict times when challenging behaviours are more likely to occur and implement positive classroom management strategies to prevent their occurrence or decrease the intensity (Chandler & Dahlquist, 2015). Another key goal of FBA is to remediate challenging behaviour by identifying the context in which it is occurring and the antecedent variables that trigger the behaviour and teaching the student appropriate behaviour that will achieve the same functional outcome for the student (Chandler & Dahlquist,
There is a reason why the education system in the United States is designed to be an
A Positive Behavior Support System (PBSS) is a school-wide approach to help establish the social culture and behavioral supports that are needed for all of the children in a school to ensure the achievement of both social and academic success. Because school principals play a pivotal role in the success of the school community it is, without a doubt, important that the principal play an important role in developing and implementing a PBSS in their school.

Poverty is an ever-persistent problem within the world that impact reaches further than the general populace realizes. Poverty is a limiter, meaning that it limits the accessibility of various resources to those who have low-income. The resources that are not accessible can range from financial resources to support systems and knowledge on different concepts (Lacour & Tissington, 2011). When a person takes this into consideration, it becomes clear that education is affected by poverty as well and can have a large impact on learning.

As the article mentions, the quality of interaction among teachers and students has a significant impact on student academic achievement at each grade level. Positive teacher-student relationship is one of the most critical components of effective classroom management. In fact, “When teacher-student relationships improve, concurrent improvements in classroom behavior such as reductions in aggression and increases in compliance with rules can be expected” (Alderman & Green, 2011, p. 39). The article centers on the social powers model, which entail the use of coercion, manipulation, expertness,
Much of what is taken for granted in schools today are the things that will form the foundation for lifelong achievements of students. The imperatives are not only for schools to achieve top GSAT scores or have a group of students transitioning to traditional high schools, but to ensure that all the students that pass through the system are mold, shaped and equipped with the appropriate skills that will prepare them for life. Such skills include the ability to think critically, communicate well and work effectively in a team. If students are taught how to live and work together, they will be able to function harmoniously in a group, (Baker, 2006). A sustainable positive school climate fosters holistic development which is necessary for a productive contributory and sustainable life in a democratic society, (National School climate council, 2013.)
