Positive Behavior Management

Positive Behavior Management Training & Support

The NIFDI Classroom-Level System

Are behavioral disruptions slowing down instruction in your school? NIFDI’s Positive Behavior Management system can help. Developed through years of experience and research, this proactive, classroom-level approach improves student behavior, increases engagement, and accelerates learning.

Why It Works

When students are taught and master routines and expectations—and are reinforced for success—disruptions decrease, instructional time grows, and academic progress improves.

What NIFDI Provides
  • Phase 1: Planning & Training
    Customized plans, baseline observations, and 2+ days of intensive behavior management training for staff and leaders.
  • Phase 2: Coaching & Support
    Ongoing in-class coaching, observation feedback, and data-driven progress reviews.
  • Phase 3: Monitoring & Refinement
    Data analysis, booster sessions, and integration with schoolwide Positive Behavior Management and Direct Instruction programs.
Benefits
  • Fewer office referrals and classroom disruptions
  • Stronger student engagement
  • Improved academic outcomes
  • Sustainable, schoolwide systems of support

NIFDI’s system can be implemented on its own or within a Direct Instruction academic program.

What is a Peer Coach?

Peer coaches play a critical role in sustaining strong implementation of Direct Instruction (DI) at the school level. Selected during the first year of implementation, peer coaches are classroom teachers who demonstrate strong instructional practice, effective communication with colleagues, and a willingness to support others. Because they teach the same programs as their peers, they bring practical expertise and shared experience that help build trust and collaboration across the school.

As implementation progresses, peer coaches extend the impact of NIFDI consultants by providing ongoing, school-based support when consultants are not on-site. Their coaching is non-evaluative and focused on improving student outcomes. Peer coaches reinforce effective teaching practices and guide colleagues to make targeted adjustments that directly impact student performance and behavior.

Peer coaches participate in a structured, multi-year training sequence through NIFDI. Over the course of two to three years, they are trained to analyze student performance data, conduct both brief and extended classroom observations, and support data-driven problem solving. Advanced training prepares them to lead grade-level meetings and contribute to broader instructional planning with school leadership.

By developing peer coaches, schools build internal capacity to maintain and strengthen DI implementation over time—ensuring continuity, supporting new staff, and driving sustained student achievement.
