Abstract	School-wide positive behavioral support (PBS) emphasizes the importance of using proactive strategies for defining, teaching, and supporting appropriate student behaviors. Positive behavior support is increasingly being used to create positive school environments. While numerous public schools have successfully adopted a PBS model, minimal information is known about its implementation in Juvenile Justice settings. The purpose of this study was to provide data on the implementation of PBS in a juvenile justice setting. A focus group comprised of administrators, teachers, and clinical personnel in a juvenile justice facility in a Midwestern state were asked about the implementation of PBS within their setting. Data were analyzed using the Constant Comparative Method. Findings included eight interrelated themes: (a) ecological congruence, (b) role clarity, (c) philosophical shift and agreement, (d) cache of pro active/preventative strategies, (e) consistent practices, (f) logistics, (g) databased decision making, and (h) achievement outcomes. Discussion is provided on how themes might be used to guide the implementation of PBS in other juvenile Justice settings. (Author).
