Benchmark of Quality (BoQ)
Benchmark of Quality
What is it and why do we do it?
Benchmark of Quality
• Checklist filled out by team
• Used to take a deeper look at PBIS practices
• Authors are Florida PBIS project
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.
Benchmarks of Quality (BoQ)
• Completed by the PBIS building leadership
team, including coach
• Completed annually, typically in the Spring
• Requires ≈ 45 minutes to complete
• The purpose of this module is to explain

Why the TIC, SAS, and BoQ?
• Using multiple measures
improves our confidence
that our results are
accurate and helps to
ensure that we select the
appropriate action items.
• The TIC, SAS and BoQ do
not measure exactly the
same thing.
• They allow us to look at
our SWPBS system from
slightly different angles.
