Over the last 20 years, important efforts have been directed toward improving outcomes for students with behavior challenges, perceptions of school and classroom climate, and academic and behavioral competence for all students. The result has been an increased emphasis on prevention, specification of effective practices, reliance on data-based decision making, and attention to systems that promote accurate and sustained implementation. The purpose of this presentation is to highlight the important features and big ideas that define these efforts and results, precorrect for some common misconceptions, and encourage future investments that will improve and sustain gains and advancements of the last 20 years.
