Grantee Submission
Many states have scaled up School-Wide Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (SW-PBIS) with the goal of improving student behavior and academic outcomes. Although the effects of SW-PBIS on behavioral and discipline outcomes have been promising, the findings for academic achievement have been inconclusive and are often limited to cross-sectional data. This paper examined the longitudinal effect of SW-PBIS on student behavioral problems and academic achievement growth in elementary and middle schools using propensity score matching. We found no statistically significant longitudinal effects of SW-PBIS on either student behavior problems or academic achievement among elementary and middle schools in this quasi-experimental design, even though the positive direction of longitudinal changes would identified. The result raised questions about the efficacy of SW-PBIS utilizing a statewide achievement test when scaled-up to a state-level. Additional research is needed to better understand the impact of SW-PBIS using rigorous scale-up designs. [This paper was published in "Psychology in the Schools" v55 n6 p629-643 2018.]
