Abstract
This study investigates a rural school’s implementation of a Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports system. Data was collected through observation of student behavior in one first grade class in relation to the district's application of a Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports system. Considering the PBIS framework is an evidence-based approach to improving the overall school climate, data was analyzed according to the students behavior in relation to the PBIS interventions applied. Based on the data and information gathered, this school’s implementation of PBIS was not very effective in correcting student behavior. Through this study, I was able to conclude the implementation was not consistent or significant enough to correct targeted behaviors.
