The revised and expanded edition of a popular book trusted in classrooms across the country, Behavior Support is your guide to implementing effective positive behavior support (PBS)—both in the classroom and across an entire school. You'll get explicit, research-based strategies for implementing the three tiers of PBS:

universal, school-wide interventions;
selected interventions with students exhibiting risk behaviors; and
specialized interventions with students who need intensive, individualized help.

Packed with updated strategies on hot topics, redesigned forms, and the newest research on multitiered systems of support, this new edition will help you support positive changes in your students' behavior—so you can keep the focus on learning. (Ideal for both in-service teacher training and college and university courses!)

RESEARCH-BASED STRATEGIES FOR HELPING STUDENTS:

Stop challenging behavior before it starts
Improve communication, social, and self-control skills
Form positive, respectful relationships with classmates, teachers, and other community members
Take a more active part in their school, classroom, and community

WHAT'S NEW: More research and strategies on key topics, including bullying prevention, safe and responsive school climates, functional assessment, and individual student interventions. You'll also get more explicit step-by-step instructions, new case examples, tips on sustaining PBS in your school, redesigned forms that are practical and easy to use, and focusing questions for each chapter that highlight key takeaways.
