Beginning in 2010, Blackhawk Middle School, Bensenville SD 2, focused their PBIS efforts on reviewing data to assess schoolwide goals, scheduling time for behavioral lesson plans, random and intermittent student reinforcers, and more staff support in implementing Tier 2 interventions. The school has reached fidelity at Tier 1 as indicated by a Benchmarks of Quality (BoQ) score of 82% in the 2011-12 school year.
When students are actively engaged in learning, academic improvements can be expected. Over the last three years, the school’s ISAT Reading scores have shown a marked increase, from 70% of students meeting or exceeding state reading standards in 2008-09, to 85% in 2010-11.
