“This well-organized and easy to read guide is packed with useful information and intervention strategies. The step-by-step procedures and case examples woven throughout the guide clearly illustrate how to put tier 2 interventions in place, from initial planning and implementation to evaluation over the long-term.”

“The writing style of The Teacher's Pocket Guide for Positive Behavior Support is particularly engaging, replete with classroom-based examples, and focused on the use of evidenced-based strategies for supporting all students.”
Rob Horner, Professor of Special Education, University of Oregon - March 18, 2016
“Tim Knoster and Robin Drogen have compiled an accessible and practical summary of classroom practices for supporting students who need more than typical, but less than intensive/individual, assistance. The text places Targeted (Tier II) supports in the context of school-wide PBIS Universal (Tier I) and Intensive (Tier III) supports. The emphasis on classroom practices makes the text of direct relevance for teachers, and it is helpful that the recommended practices are now formally acknowledged and recommended by the U.S. Department of Education. Individual teachers will always look for strategies to improve their classroom, but this text should also help them braid efforts across multiple classrooms to establish a school as a strong learning environment.”

“This insightful, practical guide to targeted behavior supports is respectful of both the realities of classroom teaching and the science of positive behavior intervention and support.”

“Searching for easy-to-access, research-based classroom strategies for students who need a bit more to be successful? You’ll like this pocket guide’s conversational style, descriptive case stories and student profiles, succinct descriptions, and alignment with a tiered support logic.”
Glen Dunlap, University of Nevada, Reno - March 2, 2016
“This is an extraordinarily informative and useful guidebook for all teachers. Knoster and Drogan describe the power of positive behavior support as well as anybody in the field. This is a gem of a resource.”
