The NBSS encourages and supports partner schools to monitor and evaluate interventions, initiatives and projects across the three levels of NBSS support.

In order to introduce at Level 1 a systematic, evidence-based approach to the planning and work with partner schools, the NBSS has developed an extensive quantitative and qualitative questionnaire to be completed by staff members in participating schools. The questionnaire is designed to gain staff perspectives on the persistence of specific types of low-level behaviours; patterns of low-level disruption across year groups; staff and student knowledge of rules and sanctions; opinions regarding the efficacy of sanctions; consistency of enforcement and communication within the school; as well as providing an opportunity for respondents to identify and acknowledge those strategies that are currently working for them in the classroom.

Following data analysis, reports are compiled for each school. The NBSS assists the school’s Positive Behaviour Strategy Team to interpret the findings and subsequently to plan and implement initiatives grounded in the data.
