Proposed Action Research Study

My campus has recently become a PBIS (Positive Behavior Intervention System) campus where the focus is placed on positive interventions for our students and behavior has shown some improvement since its inception in the Fall semester of 2009, however I'm interested in action researching the correlation between the implementation of student incentives as part of PBIS (Positive Behavior Interventions & Supports) and their effects on how they relate to academic achievement and success on as TAKS scores, retention rates, and attendance rates.

Researching PBIS may potentially improve teaching and learning across the campus and for all classrooms by implementing a more consistent discipline process that is effective in helping students change their behaviors. This program would identify and teach expected student behaviors. It will also offer ways to reinforce and reward those behaviors and enforce consistent meaningful consequences when violations occur.
