(2) What evidence has the Minister received showing the success of this program in reducing violence in schools and can the Minister provide a copy of that evidence.
Ms Berry: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) is an internationally recognised framework based on ongoing evidence and research. An example of this research is at Attachment A and links to further information is listed below for your information.
Schools implementing the PBL framework have reported:
• Higher student motivation orientations including: belief, value, planning, management and persistence;
• Significantly lower student disengagement;
• High satisfaction rates for both parents and teachers;
• Improvement in aggressive behaviour, concentration, prosocial behaviour, and emotional regulation;
• More effective and consistent responses to students behaviour;
• Improved tracking and management of student behaviour;
• Improved coherence in whole school practices that enhance teaching practices and support positive behaviour;
• Reduction in bullying behaviour, peer rejection and peer victimisation;
• Improved academic achievement;
• Improve school climate and organisational health; and
• Enhanced perception of organisational health and safety.
High schools engaged with PBL over an extended period of time have decreased long suspensions rates. School-wide improvement in behaviour management processes was found in schools at all phases of implementation of PBL, with the greatest improvement noted in schools that had been implementing PBL for a longer period.
