The PAX Good Behavior Game® (PAX GBG) is a classroom-based universal preventive intervention used to teach students self-regulation and to build behavioral skills and stamina for focused attention and on-task behavior. Over 50 independent studies, including longitudinal research by Johns Hopkins University, demonstrate that students who receive the PAX Good Behavior Game® have significantly higher academic, behavioral, and lifetime outcomes.
