Publisher's Synopsis
Now in a revised and updated second edition addressing the evolving needs of today's K-12 educators, this established classroom resource is written by leaders in positive behavioral interventions and supports (PBIS). Brandi Simonsen and Diane Myers provide a vital classroom management and behavior support toolkit with a primary focus on universal (Tier 1) support. In a convenient large-size format, the book provides step-by-step guidelines for structuring the classroom environment, actively engaging students in instruction, setting clear expectations, and implementing a continuum of strategies to reinforce positive behavior and respond to inappropriate behavior. Teacher-friendly features include classroom vignettes, bulleted chapter objectives, end-of-chapter learning activities, and reproducible forms that can be downloaded for repeated use.
