Positive Effects of Family Partnerships When families are involved… students exhibit more positive attitudes and behavior, students have more self-confidence, feel school is more important, and tend to do better in school, teachers report greater job satisfaction. In addition to implementing PBIS, teachers experience improved classroom behavior as they increase knowledge of children’s family, culture and community contexts. (National PTA, 2006) (Adapted from Christenson, 1996)
