Successful individual student behavior support is linked to host environments or school climates that are effective, efficient, relevant, & durable for all students (Zins & Ponti, 1990) 1 million workers, 80,000 managers, 400 companies Predictable work environments are places where employees (Buckingham & Coffman 2002, Gallup) 1. Know what is expected 2. Have materials & equipment to do job correctly 3. Receive recognition each week for good work. 4. Have supervisor who cares, & pays attention 5. Receive encouragement to contribute & improve 6. Can identify person at work who is “best friend.” 7. Feel mission of organization makes them feel like their jobs are important 8.

Is school-wide positive behavior support an evidence-based practice? OSEP Technical Assistance Center on Positive Behavioral Interventions and Support. www.pbis.org click “Research” “Evidence Base” 90-School Study Horner et al., in press • Schools that receive technical assistance from typical support personnel implement SWPBS with fidelity • Fidelity SWPBS is associated with ▫ Low levels of ODR ▫ .29/100/day v. national mean .34 ▫ Improved perception of safety of the school ▫ reduced risk factor ▫ Increased proportion of 3rd graders who meet state reading standard.
