Book excerpt: Positive program interventions are an essential need for students who display problem behaviors in school and in efforts to support student success, Positive Behavior Intervention Supports ("PBIS") have been used to support students who display these types of behaviors since its introduction in 1997 (Sugai & Simonsen, 2012). Creating effective classroom environments is an example of a PBIS strategy while benefits associated with PBIS include improved school climate, improved academic achievement and reductions in referrals to the office for discipline (ODR's) (Flannery et al., 2014). While numerous studies have been conducted since 1997 to describe, inform and assess outcomes associated with PBIS, the research to date has not adequately identified the specific ingredients needed to support the implementation of PBIS in schools; as such, there is an urgent need to identify these key components (Sugai & Simonsen, 2012). This graduate project conducted a systematic literature review of fifteen journal articles that met the inclusion criteria to explore what barriers are keeping schools from accessing and activate the key environmental, organizational and/or program ingredients that contribute to the success of PBIS in schools. The findings from this review indicate that the key ingredients for success are professional development, staff buy in and leadership support whereas time and money are the key barriers that get in the way of schools accomplishing their goals (or implementing PBIS to the fullest? The implications for stakeholders include ensuring time and money is available when implementing PBIS.
