Teaching Recess

Abstract
This article describes an intervention using positive behavior support strategies to reduce behavioral incidences occurring during recess. The intervention was developed and implemented by an elementary school Effective Behavior Support team. The intervention was based on a model that focuses on (a) data-based decision making, (b) systems-oriented school improvement goals, and (c) team-driven management as the critical features of the intervention design. Available data suggest that the intervention reduced the number of behavioral incidences, improved the overall school climate, and increased staff satisfaction.
