This inventory is an assessment that schools can use to evaluate levels of implementation of school-wide positive behavior support .

The inventory is organized to assess current implementation of a school-wide system of Positive Behavior Support along a continuum (universal, secondary, and tertiary) and across a) practices, b) system support, and c) data collection and decision making. The inventory focus on the degree to which key features are in place (not at all, partial and full).

To complete the inventory:

a. Evaluate the degree to which each system feature (left hand side of survey) is implemented (i.e., Not at all = 0; Partial = 1; Full = 2) in your building. Move cursor or use "Tab" key to include response for each item.

b. Use the scoring guide to list and total the subscale categories.

c. An average is calculated for each subscale

A team can determine its level of implementation based on the subscale scores. This information can be used to determine strengths and weaknesses in implementation practices, as well as an indication of readiness to increase capacity by focusing on implementation features at the next level.

Scale Score Guidelines

Universal Level

Positive Behavior Support

This section focuses on key practices, systems, and data management at the Universal or Primary prevention/intervention level. The purpose of Universal strategies is to target all students, all staff, and all settings including classrooms and non-classroom settings such as hallway. Universal strategies should serve as the "foundation" of the school-wide system and should be implemented consistently with high integrity. Universal strategies when implemented will typically be sufficient to allow 70-80% of students to be behaviorally successful.

Secondary Level

Positive Behavior Support

This section focuses on key practices, systems, and data management at the Secondary or small group intervention level. The purpose of secondary strategies is to provide students who are not displaying school-wide behavioral expectations at high consistent rates (i.e., "at-risk") additional support. Secondary strategies should not be viewed as a "separate class" of practices, rather as intensifying universal strategies along a continuum. Secondary strategies follow the basic format of universal strategies but are typically implemented in a) smaller groups, b) tailored more toward the individual, and c) may involve other school staff beyond the classroom teacher. Students may need secondary support for brief or long periods of time and may need multiple approaches to be successful (e.g., reading instruction and social skills group). Secondary strategies are typically implemented with about 10-20% of the school population.

Tertiary Level

Positive Behavior Support

This section focuses on key practices, systems, and data management at the Tertiary or individual student level. The purpose of tertiary strategies is to provide students who are displaying clear chronic patterns of challenging behavior, or severe patterns of challenging behavior, individually developed behavior support plans. Tertiary strategies should not be viewed as a "separate class" of practices, rather as intensifying universal and secondary strategies along a continuum. Tertiary strategies are developed through a 5 step process: a) conduct a functional assessment and gather other data, b) develop plan based on assessment and data review, c) train/consult with all staff who work with the student on the basics of the plan, d) involvement of specialist, external agencies, and family, and e) plan implementation and evaluation. Students may need tertiary support for brief or long periods of time and may need multiple approaches to be successful. Tertiary strategies are typically implemented with about 5-10% of the school population and will include both students with and without IEPs.
