Week 2 has been quite of a roller coaster as I struggled to find a topic for my action research. I had narrowed down to 3 topics and with the help of my supervisor I finally decided to conduct an action research on the success of Positive Behavior Interventions and Support (PBIS). Our school implemented a new behavior program last year called the Positive Behavior Interventions and Support (PBIS) to define, teach, and implement strategies at the school wide level to encourage positive behavior and create a positive and safe school environment. My wondering is how successful PBIS has been since its implementation. I would like to evaluate the effectiveness of PBIS in students’ academic performance and overall school environment. Has PBIS been successful in eliminating or lowering the amount of behavior problems in the classroom? How can we help teachers spend their time teaching and not correcting students?

I am doing the same type of research. My school implemented the African American Success Initiative program on last year. (It's actually a district initiative.) I'm conducting research to see if this program is actually improving the academic success of African American students on our campus. I would love to know what type of data you will be gathering and what strategies you'll be using analyze the PBIS program. I'm open to sharing some of my ideas as well. Good luck.
