Understanding the Effectiveness of Consistency of the Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports in K-5 East Coast Inner-City Schools

ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, Gwynedd Mercy University
According to The Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP), Technical Assistance Center on Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (2020), Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is an evidence-based three-tiered framework to improve and integrate all data, systems, and practices affecting student outcomes every day. PBIS creates schools where all students succeed. PBIS may not be as practical to maintain discipline in inner-city elementary schools as educators perceive. This qualitative study sought to understand the consistency of PBIS implemented by administrators and teachers in urban schools from kindergarten through five (K-5). The study's limitations were that the researcher conducted the study at the beginning of the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak in the United States. Many educators lost employment due to the pandemic of the virus and some had their workload increased by implementing virtual learning led by the instructional technology in the transition from in-class instruction to virtual instruction. The circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic dramatically impacted the limitation of the research study. The increased workload and loss of employment impacted the study and limited the investigation by having a low turnout with participants as well as the search for participants. The qualitative research findings in this study indicated the direct correlation between the lack of family involvement, support, inconsistencies, and the impact of PBIS in schools. The data suggested that more research needs to be conducted to dive deeper into the specific PBIS strategies and tools which need to be implemented in the funding, demographics of staff and students, and the schools' training program.
