“…University of Missouri researchers have shown that when Head Start teachers receive limited training and technical assistance in the use of positive support strategies (i.e., teaching and reminding of behavioral expectations and specific positive feedback for appropriate behavior), student behavior improves (Beckner, 2007;Covington-Smith, 2004;Stormont, Covington-Smith, & Lewis, 2007). Perhaps these sorts of efforts are an initial response for Head Start agencies with limited resources when provided by an early childhood mental health consultant.…”

“…Traditionally, family involvement in PBIS has been the strongest within the selected and indicated tiers, where more intensive and individualized services are required to address the escalation of inappropriate behaviors (Beckner, 2007;Fox, Dunlap, & Cushing, 2002;Scott & Eber, 2003). At these top tier levels of PBIS, teams of professionals collaborate to plan supports and interventions for targeted students.…”

“…Although historically and across most implementation sites family involvement is highest within these top-tier PBIS teams, there are some isolated examples of involving families at the school-wide universal level (Beckner, 2007;New York State Education Department, 2008). In New York, for example, regional PBIS family coordinators facilitate the involvement of families in PBIS-related trainings and planning.…”

“…In early childhood settings, family involvement with PBIS has included teaching positive behavior strategies at the universal level to family members for implementation at home (Beckner, 2007;Jolivette, Liaupsin, Christle, & Scott, 2008). For example, Jolivette and colleagues (2008) provide a case study of training families in universal PBIS strategies, similar to those used in their child's school.…”

“…Then, during the generalization phase, the mothers of Head Start students were trained to use these strategies in the home. However, because of attrition problems, only one of the four mothers initially involved in Beckner's (2007) study completed the same PBIS training as the teachers, which included modeling and practicing. Across four home observations during the home implementation phase, the mother's use of precorrections increased and use of reprimands decreased considerably from the initial baseline phase.…”

The prevention or reduction of early aggressive and disruptive behavior has important educational and mental health implications. Disruptive behavior problems contribute to loss of instruction time in the classroom, frustration for children and families, and considerable societal burden associated with antisocial acts, including delinquency and harm to others, making them a significant public health burden. Research indicates that both school and family factors contribute to behavior problems in children. Based on this knowledge, we describe the integration of two evidence‐based interventions, Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS; intervention targeting the school environment) and The Family Check‐Up (FCU; intervention targeting the family context). Both interventions use a three‐tier public health approach to providing supports to children. This article proposes combining PBIS with the FCU in an effort to improve and alter existing service delivery systems to prevent behavior problems in young children across both the school and family contexts. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

To add to the emerging early intervention research on universal supports for children, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of an intervention designed to increase teachers’ use of two universal behavioral supports on target children’s behavior. The children targeted for this study were at elevated risk for problem behavior according to teachers’ nominations and ratings. Three teachers in Head Start settings were selected to participate in this study. The Multi Option Observation System for Experimental Studies coding system was used to collect data on teacher and student behavior. The intervention included providing teachers with specific instruction in implementing precorrective statements and behavior-specific praise statements and then, after the intervention sessions, providing feedback on implementation. A multiple-baseline design was used, and baseline, intervention, and maintenance data were collected. Results indicate that teachers increased their use of the targeted universal supports and a functional relationship was observed between this increase and improvement in children’s behavior. Maintenance data were also promising. The implications and limitations of this study are discussed.
