Evaluation- Jamaica School Wide Positive Behaviour Intervention System (SWPBIS)

Background

In line with progressive and child-centered movements to ensure students have the best opportunities to learn and develop into positive citizens, in 2014-15 the Ministry of Education, Youth and Information (MOEYI) began implementing the School-wide Positive Behaviour Intervention and Support (SWPBIS) framework with support from UNICEF Jamaica in a 3-year pilot project in 56 primary and secondary level schools nationwide. UNICEF Jamaica is desirous of conducting a formative evaluation that will inform decisions regarding the national roll-out of SWPBIS.

The purpose of this consultancy is to conduct a comprehensive formative programme-specific evaluation which will review all aspects of the SWPBIS pilot implementation and analyze the benefits of SWPBIS to the student, school and community(where applicable) while capturing key linkages and lessons learned for the longer term national roll-out plan. The evaluation should review and assess the relevance, effectiveness, and sustainability of the pilot project and provide specific recommendations for national roll-out. Specifically, the evaluation should:

· Document and analyze the results achieved (intended and unintended) and challenges of SWPBIS implementation through a formative evaluation design.

· Document the operational processes, lessons learned and good practices of the intervention and make recommendations for the national roll out.

· Ensure that data collection mechanisms address the indicators outlined in the evaluation design matrix.

· Recommend changes in strategy and process that should be incorporated to increase effectiveness

· Provide recommendations to improve on-going monitoring of programme activities at the school and ministry levels.
