Positive Behavioral Supports for the Classroom (2nd Edition)

The field of positive behavioral intervention and support is expanding rapidly, and the revised and reorganized second edition of Positive Behavioral Supports for the Classroom reflects the newest research and most exciting advances. With a new emphasis on the three-tier response-to-intervention model, the text continues to deliver readers an array of research-based strategies and techniques for strengthening appropriate behaviors and reducing challenging ones. Tackling both the “hows” and “whys” of behavioral management in the classroom, this text combines theory and practice in a way that helps students understand and apply effective strategies for behavioral support, assessment, and intervention in both school-wide settings and on an individual basis.

Great book with solid advice

By Bonnie - June 24, 2010

Many books relating to teaching give lofty ideals and not too much you can actually apply. This book, for the most part, has awesome information, soundly based in theories proven though sound research. It gives you advice that you can actually use in your classroom to both set up your room to prevent problems from occurring as well as advice about how to address less favorable behaviors in an effective manner. This book has great advice whether you are teaching pre-K or high-school, life skills or gifted and talended, as well as every classroom in between.

It does give a background on many SPED concepts, but this is not the main focus the book.

I've read many of the excerpts in this book and Brenda was one of my mentors when I was a SPED Graduate Student at Texas State University.

She is truly a master with PBS Systems Design and Implementation.
