California PBIS has developed a tiered system of recognition for schools to showcase their programs. Schools have the option to have their programs evaluated to formalize the school community’s PBIS program efforts by way of the CA PBIS recognition. In the spring, an Authorized CA PBIS External Reviewer (ACER) visits a school to assess its PBIS program. There are a series of questions on protocols, data collection and staff interaction and training that rate the program’s effectiveness and positive impact on school culture. Students and teachers are also interviewed to ensure the information reported aligns with what is in practice.
