  3. Brief Overview • Simonsen, Sugai, & Negron,(2008)found that implementing a PBS system improves academic performance, decreases inappropriate behavior, and improves the time management of teachers and administrators.

  4. Recent Research • A study conducted by McCurdy, Manella, & Eldridge (2003) showed implementing a PBS system decreases the number of referrals, suspensions, and the demonstration of anti-social behaviors. • Research conducted by Lane et al (2008) also suggests that certain things most occur and without them, the systems are less effective.

  5. Why PBS? • Defines student expectations • Teaches student expectations • Rewards positive behaviors • Prevents negative behaviors • Defines consequences for inappropriate behavior
