Project The Good Behaviour Game
Purpose To improve classroom behaviour and outcomes
Funding Around £160,000 for the two-year UK pilot from the Technology Strategy Board, Economic and Social Research Council, Oxfordshire County Council and Oxford Brookes University
Background There is strong evidence to show that children with behaviour difficulties are more likely to become drug users, have mental or physical health problems or be in trouble with the police in later life; so addressing problem behaviour early is crucial.
David Foxcroft, professor of community psychology and public health at Oxford Brookes University, was researching a book on drugs policy when he came across the Good Behaviour Game, a classroom intervention developed in the United States. The study provided compelling evidence that the programme improved student behaviour and Foxcroft was keen to see whether the results could be replicated in the UK.
