Kittelman, Angus; Mercer, Sterett H.; McIntosh, Kent; Hoselton, Robert – Grantee Submission, 2021
The purpose of this longitudinal study was to examine patterns in implementation of Tier 2 and 3 school-wide positive behavioral interventions and supports (SWPBIS) systems to identify timings of installation that led to higher implementation of advanced tiers. Extant data from 776 schools in 27 states reporting on the first three years of Tier 2…

Kittelman, Angus; Mercer, Sterett H.; McIntosh, Kent; Hoselton, Robert – Journal of Positive Behavior Interventions, 2022
The purpose of this longitudinal study was to examine patterns in implementation of Tiers 2 and 3 school-wide positive behavioral interventions and supports (SWPBIS) systems to identify timings of installation that led to higher implementation of advanced tiers. Extant data from 776 schools in 27 states reporting on the first 3 years of Tier 2…

Kittelman, Angus; Mercer, Sterett H.; McIntosh, Kent; Nese, Rhonda N. T. – Grantee Submission, 2021
To identify the most effective strategies for implementing and sustaining Tier 2 and 3 behavior support systems, a measure of general and tier-specific factors hypothesized to predict sustained implementation is needed. To address this need, we conducted two studies examining the construct validity of the "Advanced Level Tier Interventions…

McIntosh, Kent; Mercer, Sterett H.; Nese, Rhonda N.T.; Strickland-Cohen, M. Kathleen; Kittelman, Angus; Hoselton, Robert; Horner, Robert H. – Grantee Submission, 2018
In this 3-year prospective study, we tested the extent to which school-, practice-, and district-level variables predicted sustained implementation for schools in various stages of implementation of school-wide positive behavioral interventions and supports (SWPBIS) Tier 1 (universal) systems. Staff from 860 schools in 14 U.S. states completed a…

Zhou, Qi; Dufrene, Brad A.; Mercer, Sterett H.; Olmi, D. Joe; Tingstom, Daniel H. – Psychology in the Schools, 2019
This study tested the effects of parent-implemented reading interventions on four elementary students' reading fluency. Student participants had been receiving a Tier 2 reading intervention, but they were not responding favorably to the Tier 2 intervention. A consultant conducted brief experimental analyses of reading interventions and identified…

Massar, Michelle M.; McIntosh, Kent; Mercer, Sterett H. – Remedial and Special Education, 2019
Assessing fidelity of implementation of school-based interventions is a critical factor in successful implementation and sustainability. The Tiered Fidelity Inventory (TFI) was developed as a comprehensive measure of all three tiers of School-Wide Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (SWPBIS) and is intended to measure the extent to…

Nese, Rhonda N. T.; Nese, Joseph F. T.; McIntosh, Kent; Mercer, Sterett H.; Kittelman, Angus – Journal of Positive Behavior Interventions, 2019
In this study, longitudinal data from 708 schools across five states in the continental United States were analyzed to measure the time between initial training and adequate implementation of Tier I Schoolwide Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports over 5 years and the extent to which it varied by school characteristics. Results indicated…

Kim, Jerin; McIntosh, Kent; Mercer, Sterett H.; Nese, Rhonda N. T. – Behavioral Disorders, 2018
The purpose of this study was to examine associations between implementation fidelity of school-wide positive behavioral interventions and supports (SWPBIS) and student outcomes over time. The sample included 477 K-12 schools across 10 states implementing SWPBIS for varying numbers of years and at varying levels of fidelity (but with 78% of…

Mercer, Sterett H.; McIntosh, Kent; Hoselton, Robert – Journal of Positive Behavior Interventions, 2017
Several reliable and valid fidelity surveys are commonly used to assess Tier 1 implementation in School-Wide Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (SWPBIS); however, differences across surveys complicate consequential decisions regarding school implementation status when multiple measures are compared. To address this concern, the current…
