Abstract Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is widely implemented in districts and schools across the United States. State leadership teams play critical roles in facilitating the successful scale up of PBIS in partnership with the National Technical Assistance Center on PBIS. The purpose of this paper is to highlight exemplary partnerships between state leadership teams and the Center on PBIS that have resulted in meaningful and socially significant improvements in school and student outcomes. In addition, given the current climate and shifting federal priorities, we also offer recommendations for state leadership teams focused on continuing to scale and sustain PBIS in schools. These recommendations come from structured interviews with 12 state leadership team members as well as our collective experience supporting state leadership teams for over 25 years.
