RK-12

Rural Schools Research

RK-12: Rural Schools Research is a research project funded by a grant from the National Institute of Justice.

RK-12 is testing supports designed to meet the unique needs of rural schools when implementing evidence-based practices such as PBIS. The supports are being tested through a randomized controlled trial in 40 schools. Aims of RK-12 are to understand factors associated with the implementation of positive school-wide changes, and to examine the impact on climate, safety, behavior, and other outcomes for students.
