Abstract
Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is a multitiered system of support (MTSS) framework for preventing and responding to challenging behavior. Within this framework, Tier 2 is designed to meet the needs of students who fail to respond to Tier 1, universal, supports before they develop serious social, emotional, or behavioral needs that require intensive Tier 3 supports. In the present study, we sought to build upon existing knowledge of how schools are implementing Tier 2 through a nationwide survey of school professionals who serve children from early childhood through high school. Based on 172 respondents, our results include descriptive statistics of Tier 2 teaming structures, interventions implemented, student identification and intervention matching strategies, systems and intervention fidelity procedures, and methods for evaluating individual and systems outcomes. Implications for research and practice, limitations, and future directions are discussed.
