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.
