The main Outputs of SWPBS are the following:
- A Needs Analysis on Schoolwide Positive Behavior Supports across Cyprus, Greece, Finland and Romania. Partners will:
- Conduct a thorough critical review of current peer-reviewed empirical research evidence on schoolwide positive behavior supports and official documents.
- Collect quantitative and qualitative data from each country to identify educational stakeholders’ needs around schoolwide discipline prevention and existing student socio emotional supports.
- Compile an action plan, based on the above findings.
- Intervention materials and implementations for Tiers I, II, and III. Partners will:
- Develop training manuals and material (e.g. e-learning space, e-learning modules, Online resources etc.) for Tiers I, II, and III.
- Train external coaches to provide technical assistance to schools, during the implementations.
- Proceed with SWPBS interventions in primary schools for Tiers I (CY, GR, RO), II, and III.
- Evaluation plan and materials to assess field trials for Tiers I, II, and III. Partners will:
- Develop an evaluation plan for Tiers I, II, and III.
- Develop evaluation tools (e.g. questionnaires, digital collection tool, Focus group guide etc.) for Tiers I, II, and III.
- Proceed with experimentation field trails in primary schools for Tiers I (CY, GR, RO), II, and III.
- Conduct pre/post assessments for Tiers I, II, and III field trials.
- Policy recommendations for scalability and sustainability of SWPBS after identifying common risks, successes and effective practices. It is expected that by the end of the project, partners will prepare a set of policy guidelines considering research plans for expanding SWPBS implementation to a larger number of schools and European countries and mapping out the contextual policy knowledge on inclusive education and school violence prevention in each country.
