Abstract
This study focused on understanding how middle school teachers' perceptions influence the implementation, sustainability, and effectiveness of a SWPBIS program. Research focused on measuring the effectiveness, sustainability, and barriers to implementing a SWPBIS program. Research also examined school climate, teacher perceptions and attitudes regarding student behavior, and the Theory of Planned Behavior. This study utilized teacher surveys and interviews to obtain qualitative data. Quantitative data included office discipline referrals, suspension data, and SWPBIS participation statistics. Pre- and post-intervention data was used to learn how teacher attitudes and perceptions regarding the value and effectiveness affected participation and success of implementation. Data analysis demonstrated that the intervention of making perceived improvements to the structure and operation of SWPBIS had a positive effect on teacher attitude about the positive impacts that SWPBIS can and will have on student (and teacher) behavior.
