| Tool Description | The Good Behaviour Game (GBG) is a 1st-2nd grade classroom-based management strategy for decreasing aggressive/disruptive student behavior and promoting pro-social behaviour by reinforcing inhibition in a group context. The goal of the GBG is to create a safe and predictable classroom environment which will foster improved learning and reduce the developmental risks of antisocial or disruptive classroom behaviour. |

| Evaluation Description | Coalition for Evidance-Based Policy in U.S. has acknowledged GBG as one of the social programs that work. Follow-up studies have shown that GBG decreases the probability of drug and alcohol abuse/dependence, cigarette smoking, conduct and mental health disorders, drop-out and increases the probability of high school graduation.
