What are
the goals of the
PBS Project?
There are three major goals that the PBS project
will undertake. The first is to construct and administer
a comprehensive survey that will identify enablers
and barriers to implementing PBS in schools. To obtain
various perspectives, different groups will participate
in this survey, including parents, teachers, administrators,
and other school staff. The results of this survey
should assist schools is laying the groundwork for
implementing PBS. |
The second goal of the project is to determine how
PBS can be expanded to children with different
types of behavior problems. To date, the approach
has been highly successful with children who engage
in self-injury, aggression, and disruptive behaviors.
Given its success, it is important to evaluate
how it can be applied with other behavior problems
that students regularly experience. This portion
of the project will delineate exactly how the process
can be used with children with a wide range of
needs.
The third goal of the project is to evaluate
the outcomes of PBS across several years.
A group of students will be followed for
at least two school years. Their progress
will be monitored to find out how to maintain
low rates of problem behaviors, encourage
skill development, and assure a good quality
of life. By following children’s progress,
we can document any problems that children,
schools, or families encounter with PBS over
time.
