. Note that these norms may not have been created in partnership with the students. Rigorous measurements of PBIS outcomes in elementary schools include randomized controlled effectiveness trials, using the Effective Behavior Support Survey and the Schoolwide Evaluation Tool (SET) to measure the implementation and effectiveness of seven subscales, including (1) behavior expectations defined, (2) behavioral expectations taught, (3) reward system, (4) violation system, (5) monitoring and evaluation, (6) management, and (7) district support. In Maryland, researchers used the Implementation Phases Inventory (IPI), which follows a “stages of change” theoretical model (i.e., preparation, initiation, implementation, maintenance) to assess forty-four key elements of PBIS implementation. Researchers Bradshaw and Pas found that lower performing schools were more likely to use PBIS in Maryland, where participants in PBIS training self-identify. These scholars also found that district factors (e.g., qualified teachers, school disorganization, etc.) were closely related to training in and ultimately adopting PBIS.
