Center Overview

The Center has two overall objectives: (1) Identify and enhance knowledge about, and practical demonstration of, school-wide PBS practices, systems and outcomes along the three-tiered continuum (primary, secondary, tertiary). (2) Develop, conduct, and evaluate technical assistance and dissemination efforts that allow evidence-based practices to be implemented on a large scale with high durability and effectiveness.

Methods

The Center uses a "resource agent approach" to technical assistance that facilitates expanded implementation of schoolwide PBS. Knowledge development and evaluation activities focus on expanding: (a) the levels of effective school-wide PBS to those students with the most extreme behavior support needs, (b) contexts where school-wide PBS is effective to include the unique challenges of urban schools and high schools, and (c) accessibility of school-wide PBS practices, systems and outcomes through a coordinated system of dissemination efforts
