Benchmarks of Quality (BoQ)This checklist provides a scope and sequence for implementing schoolwide behavior supports. Schools should not expect to see change in student behavior until a score of at least 70% is achieved.

Benchmarks of Quality (BoQ) results are used to identify areas of strength in the implementation of Schoolwide PBIS and areas in need of development. These areas should inform action plans for the sustained implementation of Schoolwide PBIS.

Why the TIC, SAS, and BoQ?• Using multiple measures
