Positive Behavior Intervention Supports Ozark West Elementary SET Results

SET Feature A. Expectations Defined B. Expectations Taught C. Rewarding Expectations D. Response to Problems E. Monitoring/Decision Making F. Management G. District Support Overall Score 80%/80% Implementation Level

Schools scoring 80% on the SET overall and 80% on section “B” Expectations Taught, are implementing school-wide positive behavior supports at a universal level (Tier 1). A goal for schools would be to maintain an 80%-80% on each of the features above across the years indicating that they are sustaining team-based SW-PBS efforts, creating a positive culture in the school, and making data-based decisions that are linked to a larger school-wide effort. Congratulations! Ozark West Elementary is currently implementing school-wide positive behavior support at a universal level!
