22 Recommendations 1.Training should only occur with other high schools. 2.All administrators should support PBIS and should attend the initial training. 3.High schools should not refer to this initiative as PBIS but instead refer to this as the school’s process for dealing with behavior. 4.High schools should begin by starting on a small scale and focusing on one problem behavior or one grade level (i.e. tardies or 9 th grade) 5.PBS teams must meet at least monthly and the meeting should be data driven. 6.High schools must continue action planning after initial implementation to ensure they implement all 10 of the critical elements with fidelity.
