Abstract

Sustained implementation of effective behavior support systems and practices is critical for improving academic and behavior outcomes for students with and without disabilities. Although implementation studies have identified variables facilitating sustained implementation of Tier 1 behavior support systems in schools, little research exists examining Tier 2 and 3 behavior support systems. The purpose of this 5-year prospective study was to identify practice, school, and district variables facilitating sustained implementation of Tiers 2 and 3 behavior support systems in schools. The sample included 646 schools implementing positive behavioral interventions and supports (PBIS) across 23 U.S. states. Using structural equation modeling, we found several key variables to be predictive of sustained implementation (sustained implementation and implementation quality) of Tier 2 (Tiers 1 and 2 fidelity in Year 1 and a general Tiers 2 and 3 sustainability factor) and Tier 3 behavior support systems (Tier 1 and Tier 3 fidelity in Year 1 and a general Tiers 2 and 3 sustainability factor). Implications for how district and school leadership teams can improve sustained implementation of Tiers 2 and 3 behavior support systems are discussed.

预测持续实施二级和三级积极行为干预和支持的因素

持续实施有效的行为支持系统和实践对于改善残疾和非残疾学生的学业和行为成果至关重要。尽管实施研究已经确定了促进学校持续实施第一级行为支持系统的变量，但对第二级和第三级行为支持系统的研究却很少。这项为期 5 年的前瞻性研究旨在确定促进学校持续实施第二和第三层行为支持系统的实践、学校和地区变量。样本包括美国 23 个州的 646 所实施积极行为干预与支持（PBIS）的学校。通过结构方程建模，我们发现有几个关键变量可以预测第二级行为支持系统的持续实施（持续实施和实施质量）（第一学年的第一级和第二级忠实度以及第二级和第三级的一般可持续性因素）和第三级行为支持系统的持续实施（第一学年的第一级和第三级忠实度以及第二级和第三级的一般可持续性因素）。讨论了地区和学校领导团队如何改进第二和第三层行为支持系统的持续实施的意义。
