Good Behavior Game

About the program

The PAX Good Behavior Game (PAX GBG) is an environmental strategy used in the classroom to create a nurturing environment that is conducive to learning. The intervention is designed to reduce off-task behavior, increase attentiveness, decrease aggressive and disruptive behavior, as well as shy and withdrawn behavior. PAX GBG also is shown to improve academic success and improve mental health and substance abuse outcomes later in life.

What does this program do?

PAX GBG is aligned with SAMHSA’s six key principles of Trauma-Informed Approach to meet the needs of children who have experienced Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) or other trauma. It also is easily adapted to build success for children with special needs or to be used for Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) Tier 2 and Tier 3 interventions to help all students be successful in the classroom.
