PAX Good Behavior Game (PAX-GBG)

Variety of Behavioral Health Settings

A universal classroom-based preventative intervention for children in grades Pre-Kindergarten through 6th (ages 4-12) designed to create a nurturing environment and aimed to increase on-task behavior, focused attention, and self-regulation while decreasing disruptive, withdrawn, and violent behavior.  Unlike a curriculum, the intervention is designed to integrate seamlessly into classroom instruction by providing the teacher or after-school professional with ten research-based behavioral health strategies for use in concert with daily instruction.
