The purpose of this article is to describe essential features of a schoolwide proactive management system, Effective Behavioral Support (EBS). The EBS approach focuses on enhancing schools’ capacity to adopt and sustain effective practices for all students through: team-based problem solving and planning, administrator and staff commitment and support, systematic assessment of disciplinary practices and processes, careful action planning, ongoing staff development, and data-based decision making, which aligns with the principles and strategies seen in EDUC 362.

An example of a management technique that has been implemented at the ECDC-ND is to ignore as much inappropriate behavior as possible, and give praise to students who are not doing the behavior. I would definitely use this is my classroom. One way I could use this is if students were asked to sit quietly at their desks and a student was talking. I would say “Thank you _____ for remembering to sit quietly while you wait for your
