Slaughter Assignment 4 PBIS Evaluation Plan FRIT 8435

Below is an evaluation plan of the PBIS program (Positive Behavior Interventions & Supports). PBIS is a data-driven, research-based intervention with the goal of improving student behavioral and academic outcomes. The Monroe County School System started using PBIS last school year. Our group would like to evaluate the current and previous school years PBIS results with grades 6-12 and to determine whether or not the program seems to be effective.

Planning the Evaluation Reporting:

Evaluation Questions
1. Do PBIS (Positive Behavior Interventions & Supports) programs help schools to increase desired behaviors including being on time for school and class, not receiving disciplinary referrals, not having excessive absences, and improving academic grades? 2. Is participation in PBIS program growing, or are the same students receiving the rewards each time?
