School-based practitioners, however, should not assume that interventions will always be implemented as intended by teachers and other school personnel. The chapter begins by defining intervention integrity, or the degree to which an intervention is implemented as designed. Next, the chapter provides an overview of methods for the assessment of intervention integrity. Critical steps discussed include operationalization of intervention steps, determining relevant dimensions of integrity, selecting an assessment method, and developing a rating scheme. Methods for collection and evaluation of integrity data are discussed, as well as strategies for promoting intervention integrity.","PeriodicalId":404909,"journal":{"name":"Handbook of Behavioral Interventions in Schools","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125170064","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

PBIS emphasizes the prevention of challenging behaviors. This chapter focuses on school-wide PBIS (SWPBIS), and describes four essential elements of effective SWPBIS: outcomes, data-based decision-making, systems, and practices. The chapter then describes the implementation of SWPBIS. Specifically, strategies for defining and teaching expectations, recognizing expected behavior, and responding to inappropriate student behavior are discussed.

Namely, the delivery of a common consequence to a group of individuals increases efficiency, the use of peers as change agents increases positive peer pressure for appropriate behavior, group contingencies are flexible, and they allow access to a variety of reinforcers. Three different types of group contingencies are described. Finally, specific examples of group contingencies are provided.
