# Preschool-Wide Evaluation Tool™ (PreSET™), Research Edition

An Assessment of Universal Program-Wide Positive Behavior Support in Early Childhood

### Overview
A comprehensive tool that assesses program-wide positive behavior intervention and supports (PBIS), PreSET™ uncovers the full picture of PBIS in all types of early childhood settings through classroom observations and interviews. Conducted by an unbiased outside observer, such as a behavior consultant or school psychologist, PreSET™ helps programs assess universal features of effective PBIS across 8 key categories, measure progress toward their goals, and target quality improvement efforts.

This **CD-ROM** includes all the printable forms needed for PreSET™ implementation: the four PreSET™ forms (Administrator Interview Guide, Classroom Interview and Observation, Classroom Summary, and Scoring Guide), plus two forms for planning next steps (an Action Plan and Sample Feedback Form). The essential **Manual** (sold separately) gives users thorough guidance on conducting and scoring PreSET™, a technical appendix of research, and a case study that walks readers through an entire evaluation.
