Intervention Summary

Enhanced Positive School Climate Model (Enhanced PSCM) is a program that aims to improve school climate, student-adult relationships, create social emotional learning programs, and provide students the needed structure to access challenging curriculum and expectations. The Enhanced PSCM includes multiple tiers of services, such as Positive Behavioral Intervention and Supports (PBIS) and Restorative Practices (RP). School Climate Liaisons (SCLs) provide coaching to schools in the intervention group on PBIS, RP implementation, and behavioral interventions. The program also includes parent trainings on PBIS, RP tools, and behavioral interventions, as well as home visits with families and connecting them to resources.

Data Sample by Population

These charts show the characteristics of the student populations studied. When assessing programs, you may want to prioritize interventions that yielded success in a similar demographic environment as your school or district.

The subgroup population data as studied here are not available. That means that while this study may work well for your setting, we cannot say based on the published study and results from our system’s reading of that study what the school/district subgroup characteristics were when evaluated here.
