Kittelman, Angus; Strickland-Cohen, M. Kathleen; Pinkelman, Sarah E.; McIntosh, Kent – Journal of Positive Behavior Interventions, 2020
There is a dearth of research examining school and district factors associated with the abandonment of evidence-based practice in schools. In this mixed methods study, we surveyed 23 school personnel working with 30 schools that abandoned and then readopted school-wide positive behavioral interventions and supports (SWPBIS). Our aims were to…

Chaparro, Erin A.; Kittelman, Angus; McDaniel, Sara C.; Peshak George, Heather; VanLone, Janet; So, SoLing – Rural Special Education Quarterly, 2022
Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is a prevention-oriented multitiered system of support. In this article, we discuss how PBIS implementation might be different for schools in rural settings. We used two subsamples of an extant data set of 11,561 schools in 44 U.S. states reporting on PBIS implementation fidelity during the…

Kittelman, Angus; Eliason, Bert M.; Dickey, Celeste Rossetto; McIntosh, Kent – Technical Assistance Center on Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports, 2018
School-Wide Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (SWPBIS) is an evidence-based framework that provides a continuum of supports for students across multiple tiers (Tiers 1, 2, and 3). The implementation of SWPBIS is associated with improvements in student behavior, academic outcomes, and school climate (Bradshaw, Koth, Bevans, Ialongo,…

McIntosh, Kent; Mercer, Sterett H.; Nese, Rhonda N.T.; Strickland-Cohen, M. Kathleen; Kittelman, Angus; Hoselton, Robert; Horner, Robert H. – Grantee Submission, 2018
In this 3-year prospective study, we tested the extent to which school-, practice-, and district-level variables predicted sustained implementation for schools in various stages of implementation of school-wide positive behavioral interventions and supports (SWPBIS) Tier 1 (universal) systems. Staff from 860 schools in 14 U.S. states completed a…

Kittelman, Angus; Storie, Sloan; Horner, Robert H.; Machalicek, Wendy – Center on Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports, 2020
Young students starting school for the first time (e.g., kindergarteners) often benefit from more than typical intensity of behavioral support. Learning new social expectations, routines, and interaction patterns can be daunting. This is an important concern for schools implementing positive behavioral interventions and supports (PBIS). Learning a…
