Having multiple teams, committees, or workgroups that address similar needs within a given organization can lead to confusion over responsibility, staff overload, and potential duplication of efforts. The Working Smarter Matrix is a self-assessment and action planning tool designed for leadership teams to evaluate and streamline teaming structures and routines for increased and specific impact.

In this evaluation brief, we examined whether and how state recognition systems may contribute to the scale up of schools implementing PBIS with fidelity at Tiers 1, 2, and 3. The sample included five U.S. states with schools implementing PBIS from the 2017-18 to 2023-24 school year. Three states created school recognition systems, one had a district recognition system, and one did not have any recognition systems. The states with recognition systems were more successful in scaling up PBIS across the tiers over time, and dropping the requirement to reach a fidelity criterion was associated with more—not fewer—schools implementing with fidelity.

This Professional Development (PD) Blueprint equips positive behavioral interventions and supports (PBIS) leadership teams, trainers, and coaches with the information, tools, and resources needed to (a) identify core PD content and implementation supports, (b) develop a comprehensive PD plan, (c) evaluate PD implementation and outcomes, and (d) build and sustain local PD capacity.
