Reducing Hallway Noise

Abstract
This article describes an approach to schoolwide positive behavior support (PBS). A specific problem (hallway noise) was addressed using PBS procedures. Students were taught appropriate behavior, the environment was altered to clarify when appropriate behavior was expected, and rewards were established to support appropriate behaviors. Evaluation data document that when these procedures were implemented, there was a reduction in hallway noise levels. Implications for schoolwide discipline systems are provided.
