The goal of the Positive Behavior Support (PBS) initiative is to provide educators and families with quality professional development to enhance their efforts in providing and sustaining a comprehensive continuum of behavior support. The goal of SERC's PBS professional development is to build the capacity for school-based teams to support appropriate behavior at the school-wide, classroom, and individual level and to build districts' capacity for district-wide implementation.

“If a child does not know how to read,
we teach.
If a child does not know how to swim,
we teach.
If a child does not know how to multiply,
we teach.
If a child does not know how to drive,
we teach.
If a child does not know how to behave,
we teach?…punish?
Why can't we finish the last sentence as automatically as we do the others?”
John Herner (NASDSE President), 1998
