Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) implementation has been associated with positive student outcomes, which have led to an increase in the number of schools adopting this framework, making it important to better understand the degree to which PBIS implementation is associated with positive student outcomes. Correct implementation of PBIS can be challenging, which is problematic as fidelity of the implementation is an important factor in outcomes related to PBIS. This also makes quantifying large scale PBIS implementation difficult. The current study utilized a brief screener, which assesses components of Tier I PBIS implementation, to explore the utilization of screening questions regarding PBIS Tier I implementation in the state of Ohio. Overall, 2,459 participants completed the PBIS screener; 82% of the participants reported that their school had a PBIS team in place, and 66% reported that their team met monthly and had an action plan. Percent agreement was calculated for schools which had both screener and Tiered Fidelity Inventory (TFI) data; there was a 76% agreement between participants’ indication that their school was implementing PBIS, and their TFI score. Post hoc case studies are then presented, examining samples of individual school responses and TFI scores. Implications and future directions are discussed.
