The PALS School-Wide Positive Behaviour Support Model in Norwegian Primary Schools – Implementation and Evaluation

Abstract

This chapter provides an overview of a programme or rather a model used in Norwegian primary schools to meet the needs of children whose behaviour difficulties interrupt teaching and learning. In this chapter we give an overview of the PALS model and also present the general outline of a longitudinal outcome study of the school model including some information about the participating schools, staff and students.
