### Pinpoint which positive behavior interventions are effective with PreSET

Based on the widely used and highly regarded School-wide Evaluation Tool (SET), the **Preschool-Wide Evaluation Tool™ (PreSET™)** assesses program-wide PBIS in all types of early childhood settings. Conducted twice a year by an unbiased outside observer—such as a behavior consultant, inclusion coordinator, or school psychologist—PreSET takes an accurate snapshot of a program’s PBIS through a review of **program documents**, **classroom observations**, and **interviews** with the administrator, teachers, and a few children from each classroom.

### Benefits

- **Measure progress toward goals**  and see at a glance how your program is progressing
- **Target quality improvement efforts**  and develop a plan to strengthen behavior interventions
- **Identify professional development needs**  for teachers
