Kirk, Clinical Associate Professor, Teaching, Leading, and Learning ii Copyright © by Jamie Lusebrink 2021 iii Abstract Evaluating a School-Wide Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports Program for System Improvement Jamie Lusebrink, EdD University of Pittsburgh, 2021 The place of inquiry implemented a School-Wide Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports (SWPBIS) plan in 2016 with the goal of building a positive organizational climate while reducing the number of discipline infractions and office referrals. Although interventions and supports have been in place since the original implementation of the SWPBIS programming, suspensions and office referrals continue to occur at an alarming rate, particularly in third through fifth grades. These suspensions were creating gaps in learning for students due to the loss of instructional time without effectively addressing the behaviors to reduce further occurrences. This mixed methods study evaluated the current School-Wide Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports (SWPBIS) programming and implementation at the building of inquiry against best practices based on a state-wide model of SWPBIS with the purpose to make recommendations for improvement.
