Abstract / Artist's Statement
Social and emotional supports in school are essential in aiding appropriate student behaviors. The presence and consistency of PBIS(Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports) and other social/emotional support programs across school districts, along with school based mental health staff needs are being looked at through this research. Variables include: the level of PBIS being implemented, behavioral expectations/reinforcements and ways of handling behavioral problems, presence of social skills curriculum, and outcome measures. Quantitative data is currently being collected through phone interviews on randomly selected schools in the northwest region, and descriptive analysis will be completed after collection completion.
