The Development of a Class-Wide Positive Behavior Support Consulting Model by Using Delphi Survey*

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop a structured PBS consulting model so that teachers who have difficulty in class management and student guidance due to students' problematic behavior can perform class-wide positive behavior support(PBS) through systematic consulting. First, the procedures and contents of PBS consulting for universal(Tier1) intervention and targeted group(Tier2) intervention were developed through literature reviewing and being verified by experts, and the validity of PBS consulting contents was verified using Delphi survey. The summary of the results is as follows. The procedure of PBS for universal (tier1) intervention consists of four steps, and the procedure of PBS for targeted group(tier2) intervention consists of five steps. And each procedure were performed identically in accordance with the four-step consulting procedure of “mutual relationship and role definition, collecting information, set goals and strategies, implementation and guidance”. The contents according to the consulting procedure consist of 21 activities of universal intervention and 29 activities of target group intervention, all of which were developed to focus on structured activity sheets.
