Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area high school teachers’ perceptions regarding the implementation of the SWPBIS program to manage student behavior successfully in schools (grades 9-12). The results of the study showed that teachers believed factors of successful SWPBIS implementation defined by Horner et al., McKevitt and Braaksma were present in their schools. The majority of teachers (73.6%) positively rated the successful implementation of the SWPBIS program in their schools. The findings of the study also revealed five important factors teachers believed contribute to successful implementation of SWPBIS and five barriers preventing SWPBIS implementation.
The findings of the study contribute to existing research on SWPBIS implementation in high schools. The study concludes with recommendations to high school administrators, SWPBIS leadership teams and staff for improving and sustaining the program in high schools.
