Description
A vital classroom management resource, this book shows how to implement positive behavior interventions and supports (PBIS) in K-12 classrooms, regardless of whether PBIS is adopted schoolwide. The primary focus is universal (Tier 1) support for all students. Practical, step-by-step guidelines are provided for structuring the classroom environment, actively engaging students in instruction, teaching positive expectations, and establishing a continuum of strategies to reinforce positive behavior and respond to inappropriate behavior. Numerous real-world examples and learning exercises are included. In a convenient large-size format, the book includes reproducible tools for classwide PBIS planning and implementation, which can be downloaded and printed for repeated use.

Every classroom teacher should devour a copy.
It’s a good textbook. I had to use it for a class, and it was easy for me to read/understand. Could have used better 7-12 examples.
Excellent excellent excellent. A great summary of applied behavioral analysis for teachers and support staff members. The most comprehensive and succinct book on classroom management I’ve read.
So many great ideas that you can implement now in the classroom. I encourage any teacher who struggles with behavior to purchase this book. Would also make a wonderful book discussion for a school.
Came on time and just as advertised.
