| Abstract |
Efforts to implement systemic change face challenges such as inadequate capacity, inexperienced leadership, insufficient systems for student academic and social outcomes, inadequate resources, lack of motivation, and insufficient professional learning (Harmon et al., 2007). The intent of this descriptive survey study conducted in south-central Utah was to describe the current status of the components for sustainable implementation of positive behavior; intervention and supports (PBIS) in small rural school districts. Without a description of the; current status of the use of implementation components, it would not be possible for rural school districts to determine future changes in the PBIS implementation components. The survey allowed three school administrators to self-identify their knowledge and confidence in implementing PBIS. The findings suggest that school administrators self-identified four components for implementing PBIS: capacity, leadership, professional learning, and resources. Professional learning and leadership were the most commonly implemented components, and the; ability to provide sufficient financial resources for PBIS implementation was the most lacking. This research provides other small rural school districts with data outlining the most utilized components for sustainable implementation of PBIS. |
