“…The model for positive behaviour intervention in schools that is outlined in this paper is closely linked to the ecosystemic theoretical approach to behaviour that has received growing support in the academic literature in Britain in recent years (Cooper & Upton 1991, Barrow 1995, Smith & Cooper 1996, Cooper 1999. Such theory discourages purely student centred approaches to behaviour management and encourages close study of what constitutes effective schooling and schools.…”

The USA is facing difficulties similar to those of the UK in attempting to deal with the increasing number of students who display disturbing behaviours in schools. Such students are creating complex challenges for those professionals who are working to maintain them within mainstream education settings. To encourage proactive approaches to such behaviour problems, the Federal Government has introduced recent amendments to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. Based on these directives, the State of Colorado is currently focusing on meeting the needs of its most challenging students through the introduction of positive behaviour intervention plans and functional assessment of behaviour.

In the last 30 years, there has been a rapid increase of Filipino parents leaving the country and their families for better job opportunities abroad. Existing literature points out the impact of migration on the families and on the well-being, academic performance, and school behaviours, family and peer relationships of the children left behind, and the need for interventions to address these concerns. A review of the literature and a survey on the current practices in schools reveals a lack of structured and programmatic interventions in school, which mental health professionals in schools recognize to be essential to help OFW children adjust better. Considering the gaps in the current practice, we recommend that more purposive school-based and familyfocused psychological services are implemented to help the children and families left behind by OFW parents.
