06/04/2020School Wide Information System or SWIS Suite is a reliable, confidential, web-based information system to collect, summarize, and use student behavior data for decision making. This data assists our PBIS teams to make more effective and efficient decisions when they have the right data in the right form at the right time. SWIS provides school personnel with the information they need to be successful decision makers. The SWIS Suite has assisted teams to improve their internal decision making and overall support plan design for individual students and their families. This training details the universal SWIS application to record and monitor office discipline referrals and make data based decisions to implement their School Wide Positive Behavior Support System. Teams purchasing the SWIS system will learn how to implement, monitor and utilize the data to implement PBIS with fidelity.
