Abstract
Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is one of many systematic approaches that exists in the K-12 public education setting. Determining the best practices for PBIS implementation is worth researching because the implementation of PBIS approaches has an impact on real students and their behavior during the school day across the country. In order to match a goal of PBIS; fidelity, schools who are implementing PBIS approaches need to utilize best practices available to them. Preliminary research found four of the primary best practices for PBIS implementation were adequate professional development, support from administration for teachers, giving the PBIS approach adequate time to reach its intended purpose, and achieving fidelity. The study conducted concerning these best practices took place at a rural middle school in southern Ohio. At this school, teachers of grades five through eight and students in grades seven and eight were surveyed concerning their school’s PBIS approach with the preliminarily researched best practices in mind. These surveys were used as a real-world example of these best practices at play. Based on the results of the study, the school’s PBIS approach was operating within fidelity range due to the utilization of these best practices. This school utilized adequate professional development and support from administration as core tenets of their PBIS approach. Other schools should take heed of their approach and seek to align consistently with these best practices when it comes to PBIS.

Best Practices for the Implementation of Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) into the K-12 Educational Setting
Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is one of many systematic approaches that exists in the K-12 public education setting.
